Description: Simple representation of a discharge tube. Direct current (DC) used for simplicity purposes. The potential difference and subsequent electric field causes the free cations (positive) to accelerate toward the cathode (negative electrode) and the anions and electrons (negative) to the anode (positive electrode). Information from: Isaacs, Alan, ed. (2003) A Dictionary of Physics, 4e. Oxford University Press. Idea from: Leal-Quirós, Edbertho (2004) “Plasma Processing of Municipal Solid Waste”.
