From QED
The ion cyclotron frequency is:
The electron cyclotron frequency is:
The plasma frequency is:
The ion plasma frequency is:
The source frequency is:
So:
The cold, electrostatic dispersion relation is:
Or:
Since :
So:
And:
So:
So .
We can calculate :
Since is approximately parallel. Therefore the power will flow in the toroidal direction.
