EXTINCTION OF ARC DISCHARGE BY A TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD

OSTI ID:4812855
Processes taking place in an arc discharge are theoretically considered in a simple manner; it is shown that application of a transverse magnetic field to discharge can lead to its extinction. Moreover, pressure and current increases, which generate an excessive negative charge on the walls, must increase the critical magnitude of the magnetic field which extingaishes discharges. Experiments were carried out which corroborated the correctness of the conclusions drawn. It is suggested that the possibility of arc discharge extinction by magnetic fields may be used for designing powerful gas discharge devices with shorttime deionization. (Referat. Zhur.
