Magnetic-field aligned electric fields in collisionless space plasmas – a brief review
Magnetic-field aligned electric fields play an important role in the dynamics of magnetized plasmas. They allow decoupling of plasma elements by violation of the frozen field condition, breakdown of equipotential mapping, efficient acceleration of charged particles and rapid release of magnetic ener...
