Abstract:
An approximate analytic expression is derived for the dynamic electrophoretic mobility of a spherical charged colloidal particle in an electrolyte solution in an applied oscillating electric field. This expression, which takes into account the relaxation effects, is applicable for all values of zeta potential at large kappa a (kappa a > or = ca. 30) and omega/2pi < or = ca. 10 MHz, where kappa is the Debye-Hückel parameter, a is the particle radius, and omega is the frequency of the electric field. It is shown that the obtained mobility expression is in excellent agreement with the exact numerical results of Mangelsdorf and White (J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans. 1992, 88, 3567).

Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
