Understanding Double Layers: Part 2 Exploding Double Layers & Plasma Circuit Theory

In the previous episode, we covered Hannes Alfven general properties and mechanism in a double layer. In this episode, we will continue to explore his paper and focus on what experiments have revealed about the properties of double layers and how the idea of plasma circuits was developed to explain certain phenomena.
