Abstract
This paper presents the results of an empirical study of the voltage–current relationship of flashlamps. It is shown that the Goncz and Marotta relationships are limited in that they can only be used in certain current density regimes. Based on empirical data, a generalized empirical voltage–current relationship is proposed. In particular, the generalized form is found to be a voltage–current relationship with a power factor. This power factor is found to be a function of the current density of the flashlamp. The relationships used in the past are found to fit this generalized form according to their respective current density regimes.
