The Effect of Space Charge in a Magnetized Planar Plasma of a Gas Discharge on its Properties

Abstract

Electric parameters of the magnetized plasma taking into account a small spatial charge are calculated. It is shown that the size of sensitivity of such plasma to a magnetic field is a constant, but smaller than the size of sensitivity of the plasma calculated for a case of weak magnetic fields and tends to zero in case of the strong magnetized plasma. The size and the sign of a space charge define also uniformity of plasma in a transverse section and with small pressure of gas and rather big size of mobility of the charged particles, plasma is always uniform in a category transverse section. With pressure boost in gas and with increase in parameters of movement of the charged particles, plasma becomes the nonuniform in a gas transverse section.
