   2. A steady current of 600 micro ampere flows through the plane electrodes separated by a distance of 0.5 cm when a Voltage of 10 kV is applied. Determine the Townsend’s first ionization coefficient'if a current of 60 pA flows when the distance of separation is reduced to 0.1 cm-and the field is kept constant at previous value.
2. Enumerate the classification of insulating materials as per International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) mentioning two examples for each class.
3. 1. Explain how a sphere gap can be used to measure the peak value of voltages. What are the parameters and factors that influences such voltage measurement?
   2. Explain resistance potential divider for very low impulse voltages with circuit diagram. Why compensated resistance potential divider is used explain it with circuit diagram?
