D) decreases
Ionization Potential
The amount of voltage or potential that must be applied to cause ionization of a gas.
Atmospheric Pressure
The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere at any given point, usually measured in millibars (mb) or atmospheres (atm).
Voltage
An electrical measurement of potential difference, electrical pressure, or electromotive force (EMF).
