Abstract
A theoretical analysis is given of the motion of solid non-conducting charged spheres through symmetrical electrolytes, under the action of an applied electric field. It is shown that the steady velocity of translation
U
may be written in the alternative forms
U
= Ʃ
∞
1
c
v
Q
v
= Ʃ
∞
1
d
v
ζ
v
, where
Qe
denotes the charge on a sphere and ζ the zeta-potential; the coefficients
c
v
and
d
v
are proportional to the applied field strength and depend upon the radius of the particle and the concentrations, valencies and mobilities of the ions in the electrolyte. A general method is given for calculating the
c
v
and
d
v
and the first
four
coefficients of each series found explicitly. Some quite general properties of the
c
v
are also deduced. It is shown that under certain conditions, the terms of the series for
U
, apart from the first, are of considerable importance and must be taken into account in estimating ζ from
U
.
