Abstract
The Fokker-Planck approach is employed to derive the kinetic equation for spatially uniform magnetized plasmas. By using the fluctuating electrostatic field for quiescent plasmas, the magnetized Fokker-Planck coefficients are calculated explicitly based on the wave theory which takes into account the collective effects in a proper manner. Manipulating the magnetized Fokker-Planck collision term into the Landau form, the magnetized Balescu-Lenard-Guernsey collision term is obtained, which is identical to the results derived by using the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon hierarchy of equations and the quasilinear method. The H theorem is proved in the end.
