A magnetic resonance RF coil comprises a conductive material deposited on a dielectric substrate. The conductive material includes magnetic field generating elements used to generate an RF magnetic field and interdigital capacitor elements. The capacitor elements are oriented parallel to the magnetic field generating elements and, therefore, to a main static magnetic field within which the coil is to be located. This orientation minimizes arcing resulted from emitted electrons and helps to prevent catastrophic breakdown of the coil.
