| Abstract: | The stability of a semi-infinite quasi-neutral inhomogeneous plasma with magnetic viscosity has been discussed by using JWKB approximation in which the parameters are regarded slowing varying. Dispersion relation is obtained and discussed. It is found that the inhomogeneous system is unstable for all perturbations withk
y= 0. A dispersion relation for homogeneous plasma is also obtained and discussed. It is shown that fast and slow-MHD waves propagate in the homogeneous plasma in the limit of almost perpendicular propagation under certain conditions. |
