Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. The motion of ions and electrons through various gases is a study comprehensively laid out by the author with models based on experimental data. These experiments build on earlier work done by other scientists in the field and offer a clearer understanding of what happens at relatively low pressures, an area that had previously yielded puzzling and inconsistent results. A particular focus is paid to the division of negative carriers into ions and electrons, with the author using a special method to cleanly separate these two types of particles. The negative ions, when considered in isolation, could be seen to adhere to the same laws of motion as the positive ions in the gases tested, removing all apparent irregularities in previous data. These experiments and the analysis provided help cement an understanding of how ions and electrons behave in gases and should interest students as well as experienced scientists in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
