Abstract
Preliminary results from a study of the effect of a magnetic field on electron diffusion in a plasma are described. A stepwise increase in the ratio of the electron current to the ion current to a probe has been found for a certain critical magnetic field strength. According to the preliminary results, this critical magnetic field is proportional to the gas pressure. These facts seem to indicate that there are two qualitatively different mechanisms of the transverse movement of electrons, one of these being diffusion by collisions.
