Abstract
Electromagnetic waves give rise to non-linear time-averaged forces which affect the equilibrium of plasma in a magnetic field. Conditions for the equilibrium in the direction perpendicular to a stationary magnetic field are derived from a simple theoretical model. The dependence of wave pressure on the local wave energy is found for several types of waves. If the energy of the waves is comparable to or higher than the plasma thermal energy then the wave can distort a diamagnetic signal used for measurement of plasma temperature.
