How Can the Electric Field in a Microwave Plasma be Measured?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on measuring the electric field in microwave plasma. A proposed method involves utilizing a stream of electrons to observe deflection due to the Lorentz force. Additionally, employing a Hall probe to measure the magnetic field (B field) is suggested as part of the measurement process. This approach combines theoretical principles with practical measurement techniques to achieve accurate results.

Measure the electric field?

Anybody can tell me how to measure the electric field in a microwave plasma ?
The method? The theory?

Maybe shoot a stream of electrons by it and use the Lorentz force, and look at the deflection. And then use a hall probe to measure the B field. This is just an idea.
