Assertion (A): At a temperature of 1000 K, thermionic emission current is about 0.1 A/cm2 of surface. Reason (R): Thermionic emission current is given by Ith = SA0 T2 e-Ew/kT.

Assertion (A): At a temperature of 1000 K, thermionic emission current is about 0.1 A/cm2 of surface.

Reason (R): Thermionic emission current is given by Ith = SA0 T2 e-Ew/kT.

[A].	Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A
[B].	Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A
[C].	A is true but R is false
[D].	A is false but R is true

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

If different values are substituted in the equation for Ith the value of emission current comes out to be about 0.1 A/cm2.
