Abstract
Algebraically calculated current-voltage characteristics of arc discharges are obtained with a canal model for planar and cylindrical arcs and electrical conductivity given as a power of the heat-flux potential. For slower than linear variation, the current-voltage characteristic has a distinct minimum, whereas for faster than linear variation the arc electric field tends to zero as current increases without limit.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
