An image convexter tube was used to photograph the instantaneous state of the arc plasma in H/sub 2/ and Hg at p = 10/sup -3/ to 10/sup -2/ mm Hg, current pulses of 1.3 to 5.5 ka and current pulse durations up to 300 mu sec. It was found that electrodynamical deformation (compression and bending) of the arc column exists for values di/dt < 0. Their disappearance (straightening and compression of the column) commences at points of high gas density (near the anode or cathode depending on the conditions of the experiment). (tr-auth)
