What is Electricity in Gases about?

Oxford Clarendon Press, 1915. — 524 p. The electrical properties of gases have formed the subjects of many theoretical and experimental researches since Röntgen and Becquerel discovered the rays which render the gases conductors of electricity. These discoveries provided a means of studying the conductivity obtained with small electric forces, and the researches have led to satisfactory theories of many of the phenomena connected with electric discharges. The nature of the rays has also been studied and the remarkable physical properties of the various types of rays have been clearly defined. At the same time new investigations were made of the cathode rays which give rise to Röntgen rays when they collide with solid objects and thus form a connecting link between the currents in gases and the penetrating rays emitted by radio-active substances. Wiehert, in 1897, made the important discovery that the charged particles which compose the cathode rays move with a velocity about one-tenth of the velocity of light, and that the mass associated with the atomic charge was about one two-thousandth part of the mass of an atom of hydrogen. The essential difference between the electrons and
