b. The experimental measurement of the breakdown voltage for a uniform-field electrode in air is shown in Table Q2b. Table Q2b Gap distance Pressure Pressure Temperature Breakdown Voltage (cm) (bar) (°C) V (V) 2 0.6 25 30000 3 0.8 30 55000 Assume that the Paschen curve is represented by the equation: Vs = A(pd)+ B/(pd) where; V = Breakdown voltage P = Air density correction factor d Gap distance A and B = Constants = Given that the standard atmospheric condition for the pressure and temperature are 1.013 bar and 20 °C, respectively. Determine the breakdown voltage for a distance of 10 mm at a pressure 0.3 bar and temperature of 28 °C. (9 marks)
