Abstract
Most of the observed features of magnetically insulated transmission lines are derived from the simple considerations of pressure balance and the space-charge flow limit. These include the mean electron drift velocity and the relationship between line voltage and the currents in the positive and negative lines. This voltage-current relationship is compared with experimental data.Keywords
