Abstract
The discussion begins by collecting some figures and relations from plasma physics as a background. Equations are developod which can be used to solve some of the theoretical difficulties arising from the behavior of charged particles in magnetic fields by visualizing a plasma as composed of two fluids, the ion gas and electron gas, coupled by a friction term. Some of the applications of these results are given for the problems of solar physics and of interplanetary space. A conclusion that may be drawn from the discussion is that, with the exception of the transient plasma tails of comets, there should be no interplanetary plasma different from the solar corpuscular radiation, since such an assumed medium would be accelerated as is obseved for the comets. Also, the solar corpuscular radiation travels approximately radially through interplanetary space. It differs from the outer solar atmosphere both by its total energy and its rotational momentum. Some observational facts are discussed in connection with these conclusions. (B.O.G.)
