Abstract
With the development of the pseudospark device, glow discharge with high power has recently become of interest. In this study, the voltage across a gap, the discharge current and the glow duration have been measured during transient glow discharge in the pressure range of 40-130 Torr in nitrogen. The results show that there exists a large difference between a previous investigation by Chalmers (1971) and the present study in the quantity of energy dissipated in the gap during the transient glow. However, in regard to the volume density of energy dissipated in the cathode fall, the values obtained by Chalmers and the present authors almost agree. From this result it is considered that the energy density is more essential than the energy quantity with respect to the transition of discharge from a transient glow to an arc.
