Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Graph of Child-Langmuir Law is shown, namely dependence of anode current on anode voltage in an idealized vacuum diode. A (cathode area) = 1 cm2, d (cathode-anode distance = 1 cm). Formula used is from Child's Law section in Space charge article on english wikipedia.

Created using python

fig = figure(figsize=(4,4))
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax1.grid(True)

A = 1e-4	# cathode are = 1 cm^2
d = 1e-2	# cathode-anode distance = 1cm
Va = linspace(0,300,100)
e = 1.6e-19		# electronic charge
m = 9.11e-31	# electronic mass
e0 = 8.85e-12	# permitivitty of free space

	return 4.*e0*sqrt(4.*e/m)*A*V**1.5/(d**2*9.)

Српски / srpski: Приказан је граф Чајлд-Лангмуировог закона, то јест овисност анодне струје о анодном напону за идеализирану вакуумску диоду. Површина катоде А = 1 cm2, удаљеност катода-анода d = 1 cm. Кориштена формула је из чланка Термоелектронска емисија на српској википедији.
