    Hi, I have a couple of questions for anyone familiar with this experiment using Hg vapour.

    1. What is a typical current output from the tube?

    2. About how much does the current drop due to excitation of Hg atoms?

    3. Why does an increase in temperature give an increase in current?

    Thanks
