Abstract: Results of an experimental investigation of electric and magnetic fields generated by explosions of charges of a chemical high explosive in the frequency range of 0–10 kHz are presented. It is shown that the characteristics of signals of the electric and magnetic fields registered in explosions of high-explosive charges in air, on the ground surface, and in underground explosions are significantly different.

Keywords: electric field, magnetic field, explosion, high explosive, electromagnetic effects, electric dipole.
