Why is neon gas used in voltage stabilizers?

Neon gas has a break-down voltage of about 70 volts. When the gas (in a neon voltage regulator tube) breaks down, the gas glows red. If more voltage is applied (within sensible limits) the voltage drop across the neon VR tube will still be 70 volts. This action by itself could result in a large current flowing in the gas tube and possibly to destroy it, so a resistor is placed in series with the neon VR tube to limit the current. And this is better for the neon tube as well. THUS a neon voltage regulator tube forms a reference voltage which can be used, with clever circuitry, to regulate any voltage. Other gas mixtures are used for other voltages. There are solid-state devices with similar properties.


What are the science appratus?

Science apparatus is all the bits of equipment used in an investigation. Could be a Bunsen burner, a test tube, a microscope, a reagent bottle, and up to the Hadron Collider in France/Switzerland.


What are the names for simple science objects?

beaker, funnel, Bunsen burner, heat mat, tube, test tube and more that you can find on the internet.


How floroscent tubelight works?

The glass tube is filled with mercury gas. Electricity causes the gas molecules to vibrate faster. The increased motion excites phosphorous in the tube and causes it to give off visible light.


What is converging tube?

A conical tube is a hollow triangular shaped receptacle often used in laboratories. Conical tubes are used in centrifuges where specimens are spun at high speeds to separate the particles they are made of.
