Abstract
The momentum transfer between charged and neutral particles of a slightly ionized gas in crossed electric and magnetic fields is evaluated with the help of the expressions for the drift velocity of ions and electrons. When the longitudinal electric field vanishes the axial Lorentz force arises from collisions of either ions or electrons with the main gas depending on the values of the pressure and magnetic field. Both ionic and electronic transverse currents are possible. When the longitudinal current vanishes the transverse current is electronic and the axial Lorentz force is due essentially to collisions of the ions with the main gas.
