Abstract

The approximative theory taking into account the electron space charge, initial velocities of the electrons emitted with Maxwellian distribution and their elastic collisions with neutral gas particles has been applied to the gas filled planar diode. The presence of positive ions was not considered. As a result, the differential equation for the dimensionless potential has been obtained. Using its solutions the potential distribution and the current-voltage characteristics can be determined.
