A detailed numerical simulation studying certain aspects of turbulence in the electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) model is presented. In particular, new studies have been carried out in a parameter regime where the typical turbulent length scales are comparable to or smaller than the electron skin depth. This is the regime where the EMHD turbulence has similar traits to the hydrodynamic turbulence and the wave propagation effects due to whistlers are believed to be inconsequential.
