Solution Guide for Principles of Plasma Physics (Krall & Trivelpiece)

[Inquisitive Student]

Principles of Plasma physics by Krall & Trivelpiece seems to be a well-used book in the plasma physics community, but I've never seen a solution key for the questions asked in the book. I am trying some of the problems and want to check my work.

Is there such a solution key or some blog that has a solution key?

I'm afraid we do not share solution manuals. If they exist at all they are probably either copyright protected or of questionable origin. Neither do we want to recommend.

The only valid possibility is to write the publisher and ask whether there is one and how it can be purchased.

Thread closed.

One other comment -- Solution manuals for textbooks are often for instructors only. That's to prevent cheating on homework in university courses. That is a problem for folks who want to self-study out of that textbook on their own, but I'm sure you can see the practical problems involved in making the Instructor Solution Manual public.

Often a good alternative is to find another similar textbook that covers the same material, but also provides the solutions to the odd-numbered exercises in the back of the book. That handles both the self-study and university graded homework students.
