Abstract

It is shown that a stationary test charge in a magnetized inhomogeneous plasma has a far-field potential which falls off as the inverse cube of the distance between the test charge and an observer who is located in a direction perpendicular to both the density gradient and the external magnetic field. On the other hand, the effect of an external magnetic field parallel to the velocity of a slowly moving test charge in a homogeneous plasma is shown to be insignificant.
