Criterial generalization of the characteristics of an electric arc in a magnetic field

Abstract

Similarity criteria are derived for an arc moving in a transverse magnetic field when the length of the arc is large enough not to enter into the system of determining (limiting) parameters. An analysis of experimental data is presented in terms of these criteria.
