when high voltage charge is applied to a low pressure gas they become good conductor of electricity why

Solution

When high voltage current is applied at low pressure the gases gets ionised and it changes into positive ion and negative ion. So they move towards respective electrode in the presence of electric field and they conduct electricity.
