The present report extends resistance fluctuation studies in the current‐induced intermediate state to the intermediate state induced by the application of an external magnetic field. Evidence for the existence of resistance levels is again found for both directions of the superconducting transition. The resistance levels are interpreted in terms of superconducting domains. The number of levels consequently represents the number of superconducting domains present and the difference &Dgr;Rbetween the two successive resistance levels correspond to a spread of the normal phase over a length &Dgr;lof a specimen. The transition time between two successive resistance levels is identified as the time of collapse of a domain. The observed transition times for soft superconductors are compared with the theory of propagation of a normal phase boundary and some conclusions on the structure of the intermediate state are presented.
