Abstract

Dusty plasmas have been the focus of intense research in the past decade. Dusty plasma is normal plasma, consisting of ions and free electron, which contain micron sized particles. The dust grains become electrically charged due to interaction with the background plasma. Here, in this paper described about the rings of Saturn, the numerical simulations of the interaction between a charged dust cloud and magnetised plasma in the Saturn's ring system.
