Abstract

It is pointed out that in the slow time scale perturbations the displacement current is ignored but it does not imply that the electron density fluctuations vanish. The dispersion relation of the low-frequency electromagnetic wave described within the framework of electron magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) is modified by taking into account the longitudinal effects. This wave can couple with plasma lower hybrid oscillations if ion dynamics is also considered. The low-frequency wave discussed here can have many applications in plasma transport and plasma opening switches.
