Field Charging of Spherical Particles in Linear Electric Field
A simple expression is derived for the field charging rate of a spherical particle in a linear electric field. The analysis is based on the classical theory of unipolar field charging in the continuum regime. The rate expression is correct up to O(beta2), where beta is the dimensionless parameter which measures the variation of the applied electric field over the sphere.
