Description

The influence of localised axial magnetic field on discharge current in a low pressure, dry air dc discharge has been studied. The distinctive nature of the variation in discharge current was found to depend on the region to which the axial magnetic field was applied. In order to qualitatively explain this phenomenon, various plasma parameters in each region of discharge have been determined using Hall effect. (author)
