The collision operator for a relativistic plasma is reformulated in terms of an expansion in spherical harmonics. In this formulation the collision operator is expressed in terms of five scalar potentials that are given by one‐dimensional integrals over the distribution function. This formulation is used to calculate the electrical conductivity of a uniform electron–ion plasma with infinitely massive ions.
