THE earliest industrial applications of the phenomena associated with strongly ionized gases, or 'gaseous conductors', appear to have been the introduction in England of the carbon arc for illumination in the early eighties, followed shortly by Moore's nitrogen and carbon dioxide discharge tubes in America. In the beginning of the twentieth century, electric discharges first began to be used on a considerable scale in chemical engineering, notably for the production of ozone in connexion with air and water purification, of nitric acid from the air, and of lubricants by the polymerization of light oils; about the same time discharges were also applied to the precipitation of dust and mist, and to the generation of high-frequency currents for radio communication. The phenomena associated with 'free' electrons in high vacua have been applied in the development of the present rich variety of X-ray tubes, wireless valves, and cathode ray tubes. The development of the transmission of electric energy has brought to light the importance of discharge phenomena in relation to the design of high-tension cables, insulators, condensers, and switchgear; and the physics and chemistry of the ionosphere are directly related to many problems of radio communication. Not the least important is the ignition system of all petrol-fed internal combustion engines, which depends on a gaseous electric discharge.
No pure gas is a really good conductor of electricity.
In order for a gas to conduct electricity, there usually has to be something in it that can conduct, such as water with a small amount of salt in it, such as one might find in water blown from sea spray.
When gasses are ionized, they are much better at conducting.
THE CONDUCTION OF ELECTRICITY THROUGH GASES IS studied in a device known as discharge tube'
No because nitrogen is a gas
Yes, it is a good conductor of electricity.
When dissolved in water, yes. HCl is a very good conductor of electricity.
Yes, thermocol is a good conductor of electricity.
Silicon is not a good conductor. It is a semiconductor.
Refer to the periodic table of elements and check if radon is a metal or not. If it is a metal then it will be good conductor of heat and electricity. If it is a gas it will not be good conductor of heat and electricity
No because nitrogen is a gas
No, krypton is not a good conductor of electricity. It is a noble gas and is categorized as an insulator. It does not easily allow the flow of electric charge through it.
Helium as a gas is an electrical insulator.
No
Yes, iron is a good conductor of electricity.
zinc is a good conductor of electricity
No, terylene is not a very good conductor of electricity.
YES CARBON IS A GOOD CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY
Air and other gases are usually good insulators but sometimes they can be good conductors
Boron is not a good conductor of electricity at room temperature, but is a good conductor at a high temperature.
a laser IS NOT a electricity source its a light source and no its not that good as conductor of electricity
