Effect of crossed electric and magnetic fields on the oscillations of liquid-metal drops

E. I. Dobychin

Abstract
The results of experimental studies of the oscillations of liquid-metal drops in crossed electric and magnetic fields are given. The oscillations of the drops are induced by a sudden transition to weightlessness. The data on the influence of the crossed fields on the drop oscillations are presented as curves of the amplitude, period, damping time, and the damping of the oscillation factor versus the applied electromagnetic force.
