Plasma Kinetic Theory
There are three basic theories to understand the plasma
dynamics:
Fluid Theory
Kinetic Theory
Magnetohydrodynamics Theory
Fluid Theory
Often, it has been said that the scale length of many instabilities
and waves which are able to grow or propagate in a system are
comparable with the plasma size. This shows that MHD is capable
of providing a good description of such large scale disturbance,
indicating that the MHD account of plasma behavior is necessarily
a macroscopic one.

Fluid and kinetic theories are more accurate and reliable but these
more suitable questions can be addressed after an approximation
understanding has first been achieved using MHD.
