Question

What is the optimum conditions required to study the
conduction of electricity through gases.
(a) High pressure and low voltage
(b) High pressure and high voltage
(c) Low pressure and high voltage
(d) Low pressure and low voltage​

Answer 1

Answer:

Low pressure high voltage

Answer 2

Low pressure and high voltage (option c) are the optimum conditions for studying the conduction of electricity through gases.

• When there is low pressure and the high potential difference that is a high voltage, it increases the free path for the charged particles to move and they will also acquire sufficient kinetic energy to get ionized.
• More ions and electrons are produced in the gas due to collision. The electron will move towards the anode and the other positive ions will move towards the cathode which is the condition for electric discharge taking place through gases.
• Which is considered an optimum condition required to study the conduction of electricity through gases.
