प्रश्न
Why should gases be insulators at ordinary pressures and start conducting at very low pressures?
Advertisements
उत्तर
At atmospheric pressure, the ions of gases have no chance of reaching their respective electrons because of collision and recombination with other gas molecules. Hence, gases are insulators at atmospheric pressure. At low pressures, ions have a chance of reaching their respective electrodes and constitute a current. Hence, they conduct electricity at these pressures.
