Abstract

The conditions of magnetic self-striction in an arc of finite length, not confined laterally by walls, are investigated with a recently developed theory of ambipolar diffusion in a magnetic field, including all first order corrections. Indications are given of how numerical predictions can be made; the case of mercury vapor is treated as an example, using earlier measurements of cylindrical arcs.
