Discharge of Electricity through Gases
Discharge of Electricity through Gases
Discharge of Electricity through Gases: At normal pressure air or any other gas is a non - conductor of electricity, but at low pressures the gases become conductors of electricity. This can be demonstrated by a device known as the discharge tube. The apparatus consists of a long glass tube. At the two ends of the tube two metal plates are sealed. The plates are called the electrodes.
These electrodes are connected to a high voltage source. The electrode which is connected to the positive terminal of the source is called the anode, while the one connected to the negative terminal is called the cathode. The terms ‘anode’ and ‘cathode’ are used following the convention established by Michael Faraday.
The pressure of the gas inside the tube can be reduced by pumping it out through the opening at P. A number of interesting things happen when a high voltage (say, 10,000 V) is applied across the electrodes of the discharge tube, and the pressure of the gas inside the tube is lowered.

10thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
Om Umang
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

7thBeing a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.

8thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
