Abstract
An incompressible electrically conducting fluid is contained in a torus of rectangular cross section. A uniform magnetic field is maintained along the polar axis of the tube. A radial electric field is suddenly applied, causing the fluid to flow through the tube. Over‐all properties such as the time required to reach steady state, resistance and capacitance are calculated, and an equivalent electrical circuit is given.Keywords
