Abstract
We perform the calculation of the drag force acting on a massive quark moving through an anisotropic
SU(N) Super Yang–Mills plasma in the presence of a U(1) chemical potential. We present the numerical results for any value of the anisotropy and arbitrary direction of the quark velocity with respect to the direction of the anisotropy. We find the effect of the chemical potential or charge density will enhance the drag force for our charged solution.
