Summary 1. The conductivity of a detonation plasma has been measured by two methods, MHD and electrocontact; the MHD method of investigating a dense plasma (ρ=2–3 g/cm3) was used for the first time. The results of the measurements obtained by the two methods coincide. The mean plasma conductivity on a 2.4-mm base from the beginning of the detonation front was 9.3 1/ohm · cm. 2. The current-voltage characteristics obtained by the MHD method include a threshold voltage. The value of this voltage depends linearly on the strength of the applied magnetic field. It is not possible to ascertain the precise mechanism responsible for the threshold voltage from the available experimental data. It can only be assumed that this effect is associated with a change in the current flow conditions at the electrodes in the presence of a magnetic field.
