A method is described for the determination of current, power, electrical conductivity and the electric and magnetic field strengths in electrodeless inductive low-pressure gas discharges. A transformer model for discharge and induction coil is derived from Maxwell's equations. The method is applied to a low-pressure argon-mercury discharge excited between 3 and 8 MHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
