And in the case of the macroscopically neutral solar wind (+ and -
particles ejected from the Sun with the same mean speed) the net field of
escaping particle must be zero.
I'm gonna GUESS that the + and - particles in the wind have nearly equalChuck Britton
KE distributions, rather than nearly equal speed distributions. This would
have electrons moving 'a bit' faster than protons, if that makes a
difference to your thoughts.
