A review is presented of the basic classical mechanism whereby an electron can absorb energy from an electromagnetic field while undergoing a collision with an atom or ion. The process is also described for a quantum mechanical collision and the absorption or emission of photons. The appropriate formulations are described for weak and strong applied fields. A brief review is given for the resulting plasma absorption coefficients.
