Dependence of Joshi Effect on Electronic Part of the Discharge Current

Abstract
Association of Joshi effect Δi with electronic part ie of the discharge current i was investigated by elimination principle. ie was suppressed under transverse magnetic field H. In agreement with Joshi's theory, negative effect (—percent Δi) in water and iodine vapor was maximum in i and negligible in i—ie; comparatively, positive effect was unaffected by H.
