  • Abstract
    THE BEHAVIOR of direct-current arcs when subjected to uniform transverse magnetic fields up to 200 gausses has been investigated at atmospheric pressure over a current range between 3 and 100 amperes. Electrodes studied include silver, copper, aluminum, carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, nickel, and titanium.
