Abstract

In this article we consider the exploding wire phenomenon which happens when a high electric current flows in the wire. We present the result of the Coulombian tension. This tension is generated by charge densities in the wire, caused by the radial Hall effect. We conclude that this tension means several orders of magnitude smaller than the necessary one to break a metallic wire.
