| Electron Cyclotron Heating | Physics | Heating of plasma at the electron cyclotron frequency. The electric field of the wave, matched to the gyrating orbits of the plasma electron s, looks like a static electric field, and thus causes a large acceleration. While accelerating, the electrons collide with other electrons and ions that result in heating. (references) | |
