It is experimentally demonstrated that a relatively strong ion-rich sheath formed at a fixed negative bias of the grid can be changed to arather weak ion sheath(sheath potential weakly retards dectrons)only by increasing the discharge voltage in the system.At sufficiently high negative grid bias,an increase of discharge voltage enhances the ion collection current at the grid.An explanation is put forward in support of this experimental observation.A slight density enhancement with a fall in plasma electron temperature is also observed with the increasing negative grid bias.
