  • Abstract
    Composite charges applied to plasma striations were investigated through this paper. Bullets in plasma jets stemming from effective electrons made up of a moving target electron with screening electrons and ions around it were assessed using an atom-like structure induced by an external electric or magnetic field. To maintain a zero total charge, screening electrons and ions were assumed to be spherically and symmetrically distributed around a target moving electron -e, and the surrounding -e or +e was equivalent to the composition of an electric field vortex and an electron. Electrons moving around a spherical orbit were found to have positive charges under a strong electric field but negative charges under a weak field, mainly because the cross-sectional area of the flux was very small. In plasma jets, striations are a phenomenon that may occur when charges gather in the presence of an electric or gauge field. A plasma striation can occur if the effective charge exceeds a critical value determined by setting the derivative of the effective charge to zero, but only if the electric field lines passing through the striation are connected.
