Warm plasma equilibrium

Electron fluid equilibrium equation:

Integration along a magnetic field line yields:

Component along magnetic field:

Rapid thermalization along B in the presence of magn. surfaces: Te=Te (?)

Introduce magnetic coordinates:

This equation should be consistent with Poisson’s equation:
