Abstract

The interaction of electromagnetic fields and magneto-ionic media has received considerable attention in the last few years. In rather general terms, the investigation of these phenomena can be categorized into two basic classes. In one class of investigation the primary interest is the dynamic nature of the plasma when subjected to specialized forms of electromagnetic fields. This branch of science has various nomenclatures such as hydromagnetics, magnetohydrodynamics, plasma physics and numerous others implying the use of high density ionized gases interacting with electromagnetic fields. Controlled fusion processes for transforming energy states is an example of this branch of electromagnetics and plasma physics.
