K.C.S.E Physics Q & A - MODEL 2016PP2QN10

Figure 6 shows a narrow beam of X-rays passing between two metal plates in air. The plates are connected in series with a switch, a cell and a milliameter.

It is observed that when the switch is closed a current flows in the milliameter. Explain this observation.

answer

X-rays cause ionization of air molecules between the plates. The ions move to plates of opposite charge.
