DIFFUSION CHARGING OF ATMOSPHERIC DROPLETS BY IONS, AND THE RESULTING COMBINATION COEFFICIENTS

摘要: Abstract The role of ionic diffusion in electrically charging drops the atmosphere is investigated. Space charge and chemical adsorption being neglected, exact expressions are obtained for rate average equilibrium acquired by a drop an ionized atmosphere. augmentation appreciable relative motion determined. combination coefficients neutral charged droplets calculated found to agree with direct measurements. It concluded that plays vital determining electrical
