RESUMO

The preservation of Onsager symmetry for the effective dielectric tensor is discussed for a homogeneous plasma immersed in a inhomogeneous magnetic field, using the unperturbed orbits correct up to order kB, which is the scalelength of the field inhomogeneity. General features of the calculation of the components of the tensor are discussed and detailed calculations are developed for the zz component, which is shown to satisfy the conditions for Onsager symmetry, in agreement with previous results obtained using less precise expressions for the unperturbed orbits.
