Energy loss to conductors operated at lineal current densities ≤10  MA/cm: Semianalytic model, magnetohydrodynamic simulations, and experiment

We have developed a semianalytic expression for the total energy loss to a vacuum transmission-line electrode operated at high lineal current densities. (We define the lineal current density j_{ℓ}≡B/μ_{0} to be the current per unit electrode width, where B is the magnetic field at the electrode surf...
