Abstract

The electron distribution function has been calculated for a Lorentz plasma in a strong arbitrarily oriented magnetic field and in a weak electric field, temperature gradient, and flow velocity gradient. The magnetic field is strong enough to significantly affect the collision process, but it is not so strong that it completely dominates the plasma. Using the electron distribution function, corrections to the usual thermoelectric transport coefficients and viscosities have been calculated. The corrections are zero, to this order in the magnetic field, for the electrical and thermal conductivities and the thermoelectric coefficients and are typically on the order of 1% or less for the longitudinal, transverse, and Hall viscosities.
