Abstract
Thermodynamic properties of a Yukawa system consisting of dust particles in plasma are studied in presence of an external magnetic field. It is assumed that dust particles interact with each other by modified potential in presence of magnetic field. Accordingly, a modified expression for internal energy has been obtained. A molecular dynamics code is developed to calculate this internal energy for the entire system. Based on the values of internal energy given by the code Helmholtz free energy and pressure are calculated for the system. Our study shows novel kind of behaviour for internal energy in presence of magnetic field. Thermodynamic properties are affected significantly by magnetic field. The study helps to express internal energy as a function of Coulomb coupling parameter and magnetic field.
