The effect of a variable magnetic field on behavior in the rotation region of a vacuum arc centrifuge is analyzed using a first order perturbation of the fluid equations describing the plasma. It is found that the plasma contracts and rotates more rapidly as it moves into an increasing magnetic field. Under conditions typical of current devices, the separative performance is predicted to improve significantly.
