<math display="block">\omega_{ci} = \frac{ZeB}{m_i c} \approx 9.58 \times 10^3\,\frac{ZB}{\mu}\ \mbox{rad/s}</math>

| '''electron plasma frequency''', the frequency with which electrons oscillate ([[plasma oscillation]]):

<math display="block">\omega_{pe} = \left(\frac{n_e e^2}{m_e \epsilon_0varepsilon_0}\right)^\frac{1}{2} \approx 5.64 \times 10^4\,{n_e}^\frac{1}{2} \ \mbox{rad/s}</math>

| '''ion plasma frequency''':

<math display="block">\omega_{pi} = \left(\frac{4\pi n_i Z^2 e^2}{m_i}\right)^\frac{1}{2} \approx {1.32 \times 10^3} \,Z\left(\frac{n_i}{\mu}\right)^\frac{1}{2}\ \mbox{rad/s}</math>
