Why cathode rays are produced only when ...

Why cathode rays are produced only when the pressure of the gas inside the discharge tube is very low ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

At higher pressure (e.g., at 1 atomospheric pressure), no electric current flows through the tube because gases are poor conductor of electricity.
