Abstract

The problem of electric field penetration into a plasma is investigated employing a nonlinear current saturating conductivity. The case of step electric field applied at the boundary of semi-infinite plasma is studied. It is observed that the skin penetration depth is much larger than the one predicted by the linear theory and is comparable with the rapid field penetration reported in some turbulent heating experiments.
