Flux Freezing
Flux freezing is a phenomenon where magnetic field lines are conveyed with plasma. Due to the nearly zero resistivity of plasma, according to ohm’s law, R0, then 0. Therefore, Faraday’s law implies that magnetic flux stays constant when =0. This suggests that magnetic field lines are frozen into the plasma and are carried with it.
