An experiment was conducted using planar electrodes in a given gas. 10 kV was applied to the planar electrode system with 0,2 cm distance between them and the current value passing through the system was measured as 5 nA. Then, the electric field was kept constant, the electrode opening was made as 0,5 cm and the current value passing through the system was measured as 50 nA. Calculate Townsend's first ionization coefficient accordingly.
