Abstract

In this paper the electric fields of an infinitesimal dipole oscillating in a hot plasma are derived in the absence of an external magnetic field; explicit expressions are obtained by making an approximation on the background electron velocity distribution function. These results are applied to investigate the resonance observed at the plasma frequency, and to estimate the radiation resistance of the dipole.
