Aims
Introduction to electrodynamics of ionised fields and to plasma physics with applications to geophysics and astrophysics.
Main themes
The course is an introduction to Plasma physics. Fundamental notions of completely ionised gas physics are given in this course. Geophysical and spatial physics applications illustrate each of the basic notions. These applications are chosen to give to students a global view of the main phenomena that govern the Sun-Earth relation. The solar and terrestrial notions are placed in historical context. Mathematical and numerical formulations are exposed.
