Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electricity in Gases This volume contains my contribution to the treatise and is limited to a description of the conductivity obtained in gases at ordinary temperatures and at pressures ranging from atmospheric pressure to pressures of the order of one millimetre in which the discharges may be explained by the theory of ionization by collision. I have also given a brief description of the principal experiments on cathode rays and positive rays obtained in high vacua, as the results are of importance in connection with the general theory of electrical conductivity. I have been unable to find space to give complete accounts of many interesting investigations, and students who wish for further information are recommended to consult the original memoirs to which I have referred.
