Tsallis distribution functions for charged particles in electric and magnetic fields

Tsallis distribution functions are shown to arise in the case of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields, inelastically interacting with a medium. Explicit results for Maxwell and hard-sphere interactions are provided. The mean energy and the components of the current density are plotted as functions of both the electric and the magnetic fields.
