Abstract
The theory of d.c. and transient probes in stationary and moving plasmas is discussed. The success (or otherwise) of theory in explaining experimental results obtained by many researchers working over a wide range of conditions is noted with the aim of enabling some assessment to be made of the feasibility of carrying out a given probe measurement.Keywords
