Abstract

The following is an account of an investigation into the relations between potential difference, spark-length, and pressure when discharge takes place between two parallel plates in air. The investigation was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor J. J. Thomson, and has been carried out in the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge.
