Understanding the breakdown mechanisms and behaviour of insulation materials is key to the optimum design of insulation systems. The speed distribution function of electrons in a gas containing electrons, ions and atoms is controlled by the electric field strength, E, and can be expressed as fo (E, v). It satisfies the relationship of (E, v) dv=1. i) ii) Convert the above electron speed distribution function into an electron energy distribution function that satisfies the relationship f(E, ɛ) dɛ =1 where & is the electron energy and ƒ(E, ɛ) the electron energy distribution function. The electron number density is ne and the atom number density is na in the gas. The ionisation cross section of the atoms by electron impact is a function of electron energy, ɛ, and can be written as σ¡ (ɛ).

Electrostatic equilibrium means that there is no current, i.e., no moving charges. More than one choice may be true. Circle all true The electric field inside a conductor in equilibrium is zero. This is because any external electric field will cause the free charges in the conductor to redistribute to the surface until the electric field of these charges cancel out the external electric field leading to no net field inside the conductor. The electric field is always zero inside a conductor even if there is a current going through the conductor. The electric field just outside the surface of the conductor is always perpendicular to the surface. The electric field just outside the surface of the conductor is always parallel to the surface. The electric field just outside the surface of the conductor is always zero. Any unbalanced charge must be on the surface of the conductor.arrow_forwardTechnician A says that a conductor has 1 to 3 electrons orbiting in its outer valance ring. Technician B says that an insulator has 4 electrons orbiting in its outer valance ring. Who is correct? Or both? Technician A says that a loose or corroded ground could cause a dimly lit bulb. Technician B says that a loose or corroded ground could cause a blown fuse.arrow_forward
