Conduction and Breakdown in Pure Liquids

Conduction and Breakdown in Pure Liquids: When low electric fields less than 1 kV/cm are applied, conductivities of 10-18-10-20 mho/cm are obtained. Conduction and Breakdown in Pure Liquids are probably…

Vacuum Breakdown

Vacuum Breakdown: In the Townsend type of discharge in a gas described earlier, electrons get multiplied due to various ionization processes and an electron avalanche is formed. In a high…

Streamer Theory of Breakdown in Gases

Streamer Theory of Breakdown in Gases: Townsend mechanism when applied to breakdown at atmospheric pressure was found to have certain drawbacks. Firstly, according to the Townsend theory, current growth occurs…
