This lecture covers the motion of a charged particle in a static uniform magnetic field, discussing the trajectory, kinetic energy variations, and magnetic properties of plasmas. It explains the concept of magnetic moment and the helical trajectory followed by particles. The lecture also explores the diamagnetic properties of plasmas and the adiabatic invariance of the magnetic moment.
