The Effect of Applied Magnetic Fields on the Pause Time Phenomenon of Exploding Wires.
Abstract
The report covers experimental work performed on the processes of a wire undergoing electrical explosion. The object was to explore the effects of an externally-impressed magnetic field. The external field was applied in two different manners: transversely (arc blow-out fashion) and axially (magnetic pinch fashion). The particular process of interest is that phenomenon termed 'dark pause'. The span of this pause is measured and compared for the same size wire sample for each field orientation. (Author)
