Question: Calculate the minimum breakdown voltage required between 2 flat electrodes, sealed in nitrogen at 1 atm pressure. The electrodes are 0 . 0 3 inch

Calculate the minimum breakdown voltage required between 2 flat electrodes, sealed in nitrogen at 1 atm pressure. The electrodes are 0.03 inch apart. Solve Paschens' equation to find minimum breakdown voltage at sea level, at 50000 ft altitude and at 70000 ft altitude. Give equation to find out the minimum electrode gap at any particular altitude and pressure. Consider the material of electrode be silver and electrode dia to be 1.5 mm.
