What changes in the current in the range below saturation will take place, if the electrodes of an ionization chamber are brought closer? How will the saturation current change? Plot the current-voltage characteristics for some inter-electrode distance d, and for d_(2)ltd_(1). Assume the other parametersto remain constant.

Answer»


Solution :Away from the saturation region the CURRENT will increase, SINCE the strength of the electric field INCREASES as the plates are brought closer together. In conditions of saturation the current will decrease, since the effective volume of the ionization chamber is smaller. The current-voltage characteristics are shown in FIG.
