The effect of an explosive instability on the plasma distribution functions is calculated for a specific initial distribution. It is found that this change in the plasma distribution (a) limits the possible level of field energy and (b) greatly increases the time required for the field to approach this limit compared with the explosion time calculated by ignoring the change in the distribution.
