Extract

Most of the work which has been done directly on the cathode fall of potential refers to discharges where the potential difference applied was less than 1000 volts. In view of the large amount of work which has been done with discharge tubes worked from an induction coil at voltages of the order of 30,000, it seems of interest to consider how far the results obtained at the lower voltages can be applied to this case.
