Abstract
Transport coefficients in Lorentz plasma with the power-law kappa-distribution are studied by means of using the transport equation and macroscopic laws of Lorentz plasma without magnetic field. Expressions of electric conductivity, thermoelectric coefficient and thermal conductivity for the power-law kappa-distribution are accurately derived. It is shown that these transport coefficients are significantly modified by the kappa-parameter, and in the limit of the parameter kappa to infinit they are reduced to the standard forms for a Maxwellian distribution.modified
