Most gases conduct electricity at:
Correct answer: B. Very low pressure
- A. Normal pressure
- B. Very low pressure
- C. Very high pressure
- D. None of these
Explanation
Most gases become better electrical conductors at very low pressure because energetic electrons can travel farther and ionise more gas molecules. At normal pressure, frequent collisions limit this process.
