Abstract
A general expression for the Lorentz force in the molten tip of an arc electrode is derived from the surface integral of Maxwell stress. The Lorentz force in typical situations is calculated and its variation and effect during the formation and detachment of the molten tip are discussed. Values much larger than those customarily associated with molten tips are seen to appear towards the end of the tip detachment cycle.
