Summary:Summary form only given. The aim of the work was to obtain
experimentally such characteristics of Radio-Frequency Induction
Discharge (RFID) that can play the role of its current-voltage
characteristic (CVC) and to explain the nature of current and voltage
jumps arising in a RF coil at excitation of the discharge. Experiments
were made in quartz 5.5, 11, 20 cm diam tubes with an outer RF coil at
pressures 10-100 mTorr, at frequency 13.56 MHz and discharge power to
500 W. In case of outer coil as analogue of discharge voltage it is
convenient to use the value of the RF voltage UR, induced
around the outer perimeter of the discharge tube. The inductive
discharge current is closed in the plasma volume therefore it is
impossible to measure its value immediately
