Abstract
The self-limited impedances of magnetically insulated transmission lines obtained by minimizing energy are compared to previous results obtained by minimizing the total line current. Although the relationship between the line voltage and the fraction of the current carried by free electrons is significantly different, the impedance obtained by these two approaches is nearly identical. We discuss why the two solutions are so similar.Keywords
