Bilateral Measurements in Electrical Circuits with Gas-discharge Devices

If the electrical circuit is unbranched, then usually the current that flows through the circuit is measured only at one point of such a series circuit. Therefore, in gas-discharge devices, when powered by a current that contains a variable component, it is necessary to simultaneously measure current both from the anode side and from the cathode side. Dynamic processes will be very different from the average for the period of change in the discharge current. The experimental results of such measurements and a comparison with current measurements at one point in a series circuit with a gas-discharge device are present, for example, not only a change in the dynamic resistance of the discharge, but also a dynamic change in the electrical capacitance of the discharge.
