In magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs) the primary is a highly magnetized white dwarf(WD) whose field controls the accretion flow close to the WD, leading to a shock and accretion column that radiate chiefly in X-rays. We present preliminary results from a 500 ks Chandra HETG observation of the brightest magnetic CV EX Hya. From the observational dataset we are able to measure the temperature and density at different points of the accretion column using sensitive line ratios from line-based light curves.
