Abstract
In this work an experiment on the interaction of femtosecond laser radiation with an electric arc is described. An experiment was conducted to determine the behavior of an electric arc in a laser-induced plasma channel. As a result, it was found that the electric arc follows directly strictly through the laser-induced plasma channel. The formation of the electric arc through the plasma area mainly depended on the frequency of the laser pulses. As a result of these experiments, it was confirmed that the follow of the electric arc can be carried out strictly through the induced plasma channel.
