CONT

A neutral gas (one where the individual molecules are electrically neutral) is a perfect insulator at low field strength. However, if it is subjected to a highly energizing field, some electrons will be ejected from their atoms and lead a brief independent existence before recombining with another molecule or being removed by encountering a conducting electrode. Thus a gaseous conduction path is formed. If current carriers are being generated more rapidly than are absorbed, the gas becomes fine conductor.
