the conductivity of hydrogen is greater than that of 1 Rutherford, Phil. Mag. DISCHARGE OF ELECTRICITY THROUGH GASES 49 air, though the saturation current through air ismuch greater than that through hydrogen. Thisis shown in the following diagram, which repre-sents the / and E curves for hydrogen… … E. M. F. Fig. 5. of conducting particles produced by the rays whilethe current in the early part of the curve dependsupon the space described by the conducting parti-cles in the time T (see equation 10) ; and we inferfrom these curves that more ions are produced bythe rays in air than in hydrogen,…
