Pulsar electrodynamics revisited
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 March 2013
Abstract
The inductive electric field is unjustifiably neglected in most models for pulsar electrodynamics; it cannot be screened by the magnetospheric plasma, and it is not small in comparison with the corotation electric field. The perpendicular component of the inductive electric field implies a drift motion that is inconsistent with corotation at any angular velocity. Some implications of the inductive electric field and the associated drift motion are discussed.
