Can someone explain to me what this is? All we were told in my Physics of Stars module was that for a plasma,
[tex]L \gg \lambda_{D}[/tex], where [tex]\lambda_{D}[/tex] is the Debye length.
We were also told that it's an "e-folding distance" for a potential, but that doesn't help to understand it.
I'm not even sure what L is either (the length of the plasma?? ) :/.
Thanks.
