Abstract

Abstract In Ohmic heated plasmas the temperature of the electrons is always higher than the gas temperature. In this case the electrical conductivity can be assumed as a function of the gas temperature and the electric field strength. With this assumption comparing the characteristics of two arcs with different radii the electrical conductivity of an helium arc plasma (1 atm) is determined and reduced to the value for a field free plasma.
