  • Title: Generalized Ohm's law for a background plasma in the presence of relativistic charged particles.
    Author: Sherlock M.
    Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2010 May 21; 104(20):205004. PubMed ID: 20867035.
    Abstract:
    A generalized Ohm's law is derived for a system composed of a background magnetohydrodynamic plasma and a lower density relativistic charged-particle distribution. The interpretation of Ohmic electric fields occurring due to force balance breaks down for such a system and instead an approach based on Maxwell's equations along with the particle flux equations is necessary. Three additional terms arise in Ohm's law and each is verified numerically.
