The cosmogonic shadow effect
Abstract
The paper reviews the two-thirds fall-down mechanism and presents an approximate model for the dust distribution and neutralization at the '2/3' points along a given field line. The relationship between the charge on a dust particle and the ratio of dust to plasma density was obtained from the current (ions plus electrons) balance to the surface of the grain. Consideration is also given to the conditions under which rigid notation of a quasi-neutral plasma in thermal equilibrium is possible in a slightly perturbed magnetic dipole field.
