Abstract:
This work investigates the unidirectional transport of charged particles across magnetic field lines driven by magnetosonic solitons in a collisionless plasma. Within the framework of a magnetohydrodynamic model, numerical solutions as well as analytical expressions for small-amplitude solitons are obtained, and it is shown that particles experience a unidirectional displacement proportional to the square root of the wave amplitude, indicating that solitons generate substantial matter transport across the magnetic field.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
