The Ehrenfest's Paradox and Radial Electric Field in Quasi-Neutral Tokamak Plasma

TL;DR

This paper explores the connection between Ehrenfest's Paradox and the radial electric field in quasi-neutral tokamak plasma, proposing an experiment to address the paradox and discussing the relativistic aspects of tokamak physics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel relation linking Ehrenfest's Paradox to tokamak plasma behavior and proposes an experiment to resolve the paradox within this context.

Findings

Proposes an experiment to test Ehrenfest's Paradox in tokamak plasma

Establishes a theoretical link between relativistic effects and electric fields in plasma

Highlights the importance of relativistic considerations in tokamak physics

Abstract

A relation between physical consequences of the so-called Ehrenfest's Paradox and the radial electric field in the classical quasi-neutral tokamak plasma is shown. Basic author's approach to the relativistic nature of the tokamak has been described in [1]. The experiment which can resolve the Ehrenfest's Paradox is presented.
