The authors obtain a solution of the Boltzmann equation with the whistler wave equation and show that if ɛthβe ≫ 10-4, where ɛth is the thermal Knudsen number, and βe is the ratio of the electron pressure to the magnetic energy density, scattering of heat flux carrying electrons by off-axis whistlers, which are shown to propagate at about 65°, is efficient enough to lead to heat flux inhibition along field lines. The inhibition so obtained is proportional to (ɛthβe)-1.
