A general form of the time-averaged ponderomotive force produced by radio frequency waves in magnetized plasma configurations is treated. Included in the ponderomotive force are components that result from plasma flow, the dynamo effect, and wave helicity. A detailed description of effects of individual components in the ponderomotive force on radio frequency (RF) driven transport and current is given.
