Abstract
Section 3.1 reduces the equation of motion of electron fluid (3.9) and ion fluid (3.10). Section 3.2 converts the set of (3.9) and (3.10) to the equations of plasma fluid (3.17) and generalized Ohm’s law (3.21), (3.28). Section 3.4 derives the dispersion relations of magnetoacoustic waves (compressional Alfven wave and magnetoacoustic slow wave).
