Abstract
Examples of the shapes of the glow discharge channel are presented. The discharge has been initiated in air at a pressure of 0.1 atm. The effective value and frequency of the discharge current are 30–70 mA and 50 Hz, respectively. It has been shown that, for these values of the current and pressure, thermal convection in a vacuum chamber and buoyancy (Archimedes force) are not major reasons for the specific parabolic shape of glow discharge.
