Question

what happens if the pressure of gas is high in a discharge tube?

Open in App

Solution

Gases are bad conductors of electricity at high pressures.Therefore, if the pressure of gas is high in the discharge tube, the electric discharge will not be produced in the tube.Thus, no glow will be observed in the tube.
