Peculiarities of the Electric Discharge in Oxygen

Abstract

SEVERAL years ago I described (Phil. Mag., April 1908) a discontinuity in the electric discharge in oxygen at pressures near to 0.8 mm. Namely, when a current (0.0025 amp.) was passed in a discharge tube (diam. 2.4 cm.), the electric force in the positive column suddenly changed on slightly lowering the pressure from about 11 volts per cm. to about 20, an effect which could be reversed by raising the pressure.
