Change in the magnetic field configuration during the explosive destruction of a current sheet
Bogdanov S. Yu. , Markov V. S. , Frank A. G.
The configuration of the magnetic field of a current sheet is determined from experimental data, and the magnetic reconnection is studied. The reconnection occurs in two stages: a nearly steady stage and an explosion. The explosion, which results from the onset of the anomalous resistance, changes the magnetic-field configuration of the sheet, redistributes the current, and generates pulsed electric fields.
