Abstract
When a cloud of highly ionized gas flows across a magnetic field, an emf is produced in the gas which is proportional to the speed of flow. Oscillographic probe measurements have been carried out giving the flow speed as a function of position. By drawing currents from the probes the plasma resistance can be found at various distances from the plasma generator. The resistance is shown to be due to the motion of positive ions.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
