Abstract

Time-dependent motions of the cavity formed when a uniform corpuscular flux is incident on the magnetic field of n line currents are considered. The general problem is formulated and solved in the case of an initially flat-faced cloud of flux approaching and passing the magnetic field of n line currents. The special case of a line dipole is analysed in some detail.
