such as those used as gaseous ionisation detectors, magnitudes of currents flowing during this process can range from about 10⁻¹⁸ to 10⁻⁵ amperes.

Quantitative description

Townsend's early experimental apparatus consisted of planar parallel plates forming two sides of a chamber filled with a gas. A direct-current high-voltage source was
