Abstract
Resonances are discussed between electrons and protons and waves of whistler and hydromagnetic types. The conditions of resonance are investigated. Approximations for the effects on the particles are obtained. The occurrence of a ‘trapping’ phenomenon is demonstrated and the effect on velocity distributions is discussed.Keywords
