ASSIGNMENT – 1_Answer
Q1
I.
Refer the reference book
II.
Since the field is kept constant (i.e. if distance of separation is reduced, the voltage is also
reduced by the same ratio so that V/d is kept constant)
Substituting two different sets of value;
The breakdown criterion is given by;
Therefore, the Townsend’s secondary ionization for the breakdown to be occurred at gap distance of
0.9cm is:
No.
In here lesser number of data points were used to find the Townsend’s first ionization coefficient. But
according to the practical scenario, a series of data points are required, and the Townsend’s first
ionization coefficient can be calculated from the gradient of trend line which was drawn while
considering relevant data points.
