Q.2) Using the equilibrium fluid equation of motion (set the convective derivative to zero) and in the absence of collisions, show that the particle number density distribution for Maxwellian electrons at temperature Te is described by the Boltzmann relation ne = no exp (ep/kT.) where E = -Vo is the plasma electric field. What is the physical interpretation of this formula? Use pictures to (20) illustrate.
