We show that if Maxwell's equations are expressed in a form independent of specific units, at least three Galilean limits can be extracted. The electric and magnetic limits can be regarded as nonrelativistic limits because they are obtained…

The motion of a collisionless plasma - a high-temperature, low-density, ionized gas - is described by the Vlasov-Maxwell system. In the presence of large velocities, relativistic corrections are meaningful, and when symmetry of the particle…
