12. e, = 4 eV). Therefore, the electron thermal velocity is 50 times smaller than the ion beam velocity, and unless the plasma density is 50 times larger than the ion beam density, the electron thermal velocity is much smaller than ion beam velocity.

16. b, and the skin depth is larger than the beam radius [for example, see Fig. 3(c)]. In this case the ion beam current is not neutralized: both the electron current and the displacement current are small compared to ion beam current and can be neglected. As a result, the displacement current can be neglected for all cases in Eq. (12).
