Abstract
Theoretical expressions, valid through the first 1/5 cycle, are obtained for the time variation of current, temperature, and resistance in the premelt stage of a wire explosion. These expressions are given in terms of the initial wire and circuit data. The results are compared with experimental determinations of the current and resistance in nickel wire exploded in air.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
