Add resistivity to Ohm's #129

Open tberlok opened 7 years ago

tberlok commented 7 years ago

Remember that the resistive part of the electric field should not be included when calculating the force on particles, as this does not conserve momentum.

A good test is the decay of an Alfvén wave.

We have included resistivity in Ohm's law.

We still need to subtract the resistive field before passing it to the particle mover.

Leaving this issue open for now.
