Abstract

The effect of generation of a magnetic field by modulational instability of strong electrostatic waves is generalized for the case of frequent electron-ion collision. Selfconsistent nonlinear equations for magnetic and electrostatic fields are obtained for the case when the characteristic wave-length is much larger than the electron mean free path for binary collisions. Magnetic field generation is examined in this case. The spectrum of field fluctuations is calculated.
