The magnetic field in Hall plasmas is frozen in the electron component and is advected not only with the plasma motion but also with the electrical current flow. Its coupling with the plasma may be not as strong as characteristic of the MHD…

We analyze the nature of dynamo action that produces horizontally averaged magnetic fields in two particular flows that were studied by Roberts (1972, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 271, 411), namely his flows II and III. They have zero kinetic…
