1210.8225 (Donald B. Melrose et al.)

Pulsar electrodynamics revisited    [PDF]

Donald B. Melrose, Rai Yuen
The inductive electric field is unjustifiably neglected in most models for pulsar electrodynamics; it cannot be screened by the magnetospheric plasma, and it is not small in comparison with the corotation electric field. The perpendicular component of the inductive electric field implies a drift motion that is inconsistent with corotation at any angular velocity. Some implications of the inductive electric field and the associated drift motion are discussed.
