The relationships between the coil current threshold (the coil current at which the disruption of the magnetic induction just happens) and initial plasma velocity, and between the critical beam velocity (the plasma is just enough to reach the arched magnetic field) and coil current, are quantified. Additionally, the interaction between the beam and the arched magnetic field is observed to induce microwave excitation.

Thus, in this manuscript, we present the study of EMEC waves driven by temperature anisotropy in bi-Kappa distributed space plasmas in the presence of a parallel DC electric field. The dispersion equation bearing the influence of electric field and suprathermal particles followed by the analytical expressions for wave frequency and wave growth rate is derived. The general dispersion equation is solved numerically to unveil the effect of suprathermal particles, temperature anisotropy, and the magnitude of the electric field on growth rate as well as the domain of unstable wave numbers, and the obtained numerical outcomes are compared with those of the bi-Maxwellian model.
