Talk:Boltzmann relation

Cleaned it up... and tagged

since throughout all the bits and pieces need explanation and citations:

Historical background? Doesn't even say when it was derived/published...
"In a plasma, the Boltzmann relation describes the number density of an isothermal charged particle fluid when the thermal and the electrostatic forces acting on the fluid have reached equilibrium." ,<-- Just mechanical equilibrium? What about thermal equilibrium?
"using the momentum fluid equation of the two-fluid model of plasma physics in absence of a magnetic field." <-- A link to the actual equation would be nice, or even state the equation,
"When the electrons reach dynamic equilibrium, the inertial and the collisional terms of the momentum equations are zero," <-- What does this mean? What terms? Why and how zero?
"Discrepancies with the Boltzmann relation can occur, for example, when oscillations occur so fast that the electrons cannot find a new equilibrium (see e.g. plasma oscillations) or when the electrons are prevented from moving by a magnetic field (see e.g. lower hybrid oscillations)." <-- What other oscillations apart from plasma oscillations? How do the discrepancies arise?

Some people might find it confusing that e denotes the Euler constant and electric charge. I suggest replacing the formula with exp. 194.94.214.75 (talk) 02:00, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
