Electron cyclotron (EC) waves are studied in the Saturn’s magnetosphere. The method use of kinetic approach has been adopted toevaluate the dispersion relation, growth rate of the waves. We show the wave frequency is near the gyro frequency of the electron cyclotron wave they are right hand circularly polarized. The present study of the investigation is to examine the effect of parallel electric field (EII) in view of the observations in Saturn magnetosphere has been applied by Cassini. It is observed that the effect of increasing the Saturn’s radii (Rs) with parallel electric field is to decrease the growth/damping rate of the EC waves. The results are interpreted for the space plasma parameters appropriate to the Cassini of the Saturn’s magnetosphere plasma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
