Abstract
High voltage distributions on the inner surfaces of RPCs electrodes we re calculated by using a two-dimensional resistor network model. The c alculated result shows that the surface resistivity of the electrodes should be high, compared to their volume resistivity, to get a uniform high voltage over the surface. Our model predicts that the rate capab ilities of RPCs should be inversely proportional to the thickness of t he electrodes if the ratio of surface-to-volume resistivity is low.
