From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, in equilibrium there is a balance of forces on adustparticle: an inward electrostatic force and an outward ion drag force.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Again thedustparticlehas zero charge when it is levitated into the sheath and becomes charged due to the attachment of electrons.
From theCambridge English Corpus
One now needs to add the repulsive force related to the momentum taken by the neutrals leaving thedustparticleto the attractive force.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The saturation is provided by an interplay betweendustparticletrapping and dust charging.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Then a complete picture will emerge, and a confident prediction of the charge acquired by adustparticlein different circumstances will become possible.
From theCambridge English Corpus
