Abstract
The collective modes for a classical magnetized Coulomb plasma are determined with the use of kinetic theory. A comparison is made with the results from magnetohydrodynamics. It is shown that only four of the nine independent static transport coefficients are accessible through the damping terms of the purely dissipative modes. One of these is the convective cell mode which decays relatively slowly for strong magnetic fields, it exists solely when the wave vector is purely perpendicular to the field. The oscillating modes contain generalized transport coefficients, evaluated at finite frequencies
