Conditions for forming thermal structures in a metallic conductor heated by an electric current
Abstract
A nonlinear metallic conductor with a temperature-dependent electric conductivity contains an inhomogeneity. Under certain conditions, under the action of Joule heat release in this medium a structure is formed as the inhomogeneity intergrows across the current lines.
