Magnetohydroelectric waves in a fluid dielectric

Abstract

An electromagnetic disturbance in a fluid dielectric substance placed in a uniform magnetic field in the positive z direction of a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system with an electric field that increases with time applied in the positive z direction is analyzed. A simultaneous solution to a set of four equations is obtained which indicates a propagating 'magnetohydroelectric' wave that corresponds to oscillations in magnetic, kinetic, and electrostatic energies. It is noted that this wave bears a superficial resemblance to Alfven waves in a magnetized conducting fluid.
