I. N. Aliev and A. R. Mil'vidskii UDC 538.3.322 It has been shown that the development of the process of the so-called Frenkel-Tonks instability occurring in the case of application of an electric field to a plane surface of a conducting liquid is also determined by the size of the initial distortions of the surface.
