| electron gyro-radius (re) | 0.26 cm | 0.18 cm |
| ion gyro-radius (ri) | 11 cm | 7.9 cm |
| electron skin depth (δe) | 5.3 cm | 3.8 cm |
| ion skin depth (δi) | 2.3 m | 1.6 m |

Notes. Approximate values of fundamental plasma parameters, calculated using normalisation values. In the flaring corona, these were density n ~ 1 × 1016 m-3, temperature T ~ 2 × 106 K and magnetic field strength B ~ 118 G, while in the chromosphere, values of n ~ 2 × 1016 m-3, T ~ 2 × 104 K and B ~ 17 G were used.
