In an experiment in a certain gas it was found that the steady state current is 6 x 10 -8 A at 10 kV at a distance of 0.3 cm between the plane electrodes. Keeping the field constant and reducing the distance to 0.15 cm results in a current of 6 x 10 -9A. Calculate Townsend's primary ionization coefficient α
