Abstract
Thermonic Current between Parallel Plane Electrodes.—The electrical equations applying to this problem are developed without neglecting the distribution of initial velocities, which in the first place is allowed to be entirely general. Maxwell's distribution of velocities is then considered in detail and a complete solution obtained.
