Solutions of the kinetic equation for electrons in a low-temperature molecular plasma are obtained. Expressions for the electron distribution function in an alternating electric field are analyzed for both stationary conditions and for nonstationary perturbation and relaxation. Interaction between an intense radio pulse and continuously emitted radio wave in the lower ionosphere is investigated experimentally. It is found that the characteristic time of heating of the plasma by a powerful pulse is by an order of magnitude smaller than the relaxation time of the perturbation. The experimental results are shown to be in agreement with the theory. Kinetic parameters of the ionosphere plasma are determined.
