| dc.description.abstract | Plasma is a state of matter formed of
electrically charged particles. Those particles are
greatly influenced by electromagnetic interactions,
which have been abundantly studied since the 19
century. The Lorentz equation is used to analyze the
force that acts over a particle. This equation
depends on the evaluated magnetic and electric
field in a specific position. The electric field is
described using the Maxwell equation. This study
has the purpose of presenting and discussing the
results of a simulation done using the MatLab
computer software, to measure the confinement
time of a particle in a magnetic field. The
confinement time is one of the statements that
constitute the Lawson’s criterion that establishes
the conditions necessary for fusion.
