Continuation of Force-Free Electrodynamics upon the loss of magnetic dominance
A null-field continuation of force-free electrodynamics, with geodesic principal null directions, is introduced and shown to match 1D PIC simulations after loss of magnetic dominance in Alfvén wave collisions and type-changing solutions.
