Effect of the transverse magnetic field on mercury discharge parameters

Abstract EN

The current –voltage characteristics of Glow discharge has been measured experimentally, from these characteristics the electrical conductivity was calculated at different currents values (0, 30, and 60mA) or from (0-45.4μT) of transverse magnetic field.

Also we studied the effect of transverse magnetic field on (I-V) characteristics, the electrical conductivity, and the resistance of the mercury discharge at constant gas pressure (0.75torr.).

The results show that the magnetic field effect on the (I-V) characteristic for glow discharge is analogous completely to Abnormal Glow Discharge., the average voltage increases while the current decreases with transverse magnetic field and this lead to decrease the electrical conductivity.

And the resistance glow discharge is increases with the electric current magnetic field.
