Scientific paper

In MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS (MHD), which describes the fluid behavior of PLASMAS, the magnetic field B exerts a force, the Lorentz force, given by F=(1/c)J×B, in terms of the field and its electric current density J=(c/4π)∇×B, where c is the speed of light. In many circumstances, the electrical conductivity of the plasma is so large as to be taken infinite, in which case electric currents change only...
