Rosenbluth formula

The plasma-oriented approach is also useful in estimating the interaction area between fast and slow charge carriers, by an appropriate adaptation of the concept of collision cross sections to electrolytes. As an illustration, the apparent cross-section radius of 181 nm in the case of a 0.005-mol dm solution subjected to a 1 mT magnetic field compares favorably with the 134 nm computed from the classical Rosenbluth formula applying to electron-ion collisions. 

Eqn (15.2.10), known as the Rosenbluth formula, is the basis of all experimental studies of the electromagnetic structure of nucleons.
