Assertion (A): At a temperature of 1000 K, thermionic emission current is about 0.1 A/cm2 of surface. Reason (R): Thermionic emission current is given by Ith = SA0 T2 e-Ew/kT.
Correct Answer: Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A
Explanation:
If different values are substituted in the equation for Ith the value of emission current comes out to be about 0.1 A/cm2.
