Abstract
In this work, the formation of pulse corona discharge in the liquids was studied. The test liquids were alcohol, tap water, and distilled water. The photographs of the results show that the shape of the cone generated at the tip of the capillary tube is different with conductivity of liquids. The blue glow appears at the end of the capillary tube and the drop extends into a cone. In addition, the conductivity is affected on the relationship between appears of the blue glow discharge with applied voltage. The size of the cone decreases with an increase in applied voltage. The cone diameter at the base of the capillary tube oscillates with period approximately 1 sec. These oscillations in the cone diameter are due to the change of distance between the liquid electrode and the surface of the liquid.
