Electrical explosion and implosion of conductors

Electrical explosion an implosion of conductors takes place when high density impulse current flows through them (current density is in the order of 10"1-104 kA/mm2). In these conditions, Joule heat which is emitted, and electrodynamic forces working upon conductor have such high values that deformation and/or disintegration of conductor take place within a very short time (in the order of 10"2-103 ?s). Deformation and disintegration of conductor may take on various forms. The basic difference b
