The physical modelling of active galactic nuclei and certain compact binary sources requires a detailed knowledge of electron-photon and electron-particle reactions at relativistic electron energies. The present investigation is concerned with the computation of simple fits to several cross sections for thermal electron distributions, taking into account in particular the electron-electron bremsstrahlung cross section. The obtained results together with data of other workers, which have been included for completeness, can be employed to model all the important processes in a thermal plasma analytically or numerically, with the exception of particle-particle pair production and electron-positron bremsstrahlung.
