A two parallel plate electrodes are separated by gap of 4 cm. For argon gas at 4 torr and 25 °C, the breakdown voltage is 822 V. Assume the constants A = 1.2 × 103 ion-pairs/m.torr and C = 2.0 × 104 V/m.torr. Determine:
(a) the second Townsend coefficient.
(b) the minimum breakdown voltage
(c) minimum pd value
(d) on which side of the Paschen curve does 822 V lies
