R Hence by the measurement of these pressureswe can determine R, and hence the velocity with which an ion moves under a given electric intensity.
In the same gas, however, at different pressures the discharging potential does not vary so quickly with the pressure as does the mean free path.
We see from this table that for a given value of X, [alpha] for smallpressures increases as the pressure increases; it attains a maximum at a particular pressure, and then diminishes as the pressure increases.
