Summary

Description
English: Graph of Child-Langmuir Law is shown, namely dependence of anode current on anode voltage in an idealized vacuum diode. A (cathode area) = 1 cm2, d (cathode-anode distance = 1 cm). Formula used is from Child's Law section in Space charge article on english wikipedia.

Српски / srpski: Приказан је граф Чајлд-Лангмуировог закона, то јест овисност анодне струје о анодном напону за идеализирану вакуумску диоду. Површина катоде А = 1 cm2, удаљеност катода-анода d = 1 cm. Кориштена формула је из чланка Термоелектронска емисија на српској википедији.
