Substituting (10.32) into (10.25), we get an expression for the effective con-
ductivity in the form of (10.9) in which
=
σ 0 / (1 + β e ) . It is clear that the effective conductivity is less than the average
conductivity in the case of a weakly magnetized plasma ( β e < 1).

The main term in (10.26) is defined by the perturbed Hall component

Hence, it follows that the contribution from inhomogeneities is positive and
in the case of β e

Effective 2D Medium
We have found relations appropriate for distributed inhomogeneities. We now
return to σ eff , and use the method of 'effective medium' ([10], [20]) for a brief
treatment of a thin conductive layer model containing a binary mixture of
circle inhomogeneities with conductivities σ 1 and σ 2 . The second term on
the right-hand side of (10.2) are r -and ϕ -components of a dipole moment of
