Corona discharge current from voltage¶

The corona discharge is an independent discharge in a relatively dense gas. If an electric field is applied to two electrodes between which there is a gas gap, then a corona discharge occurs at a certain potential difference between the electrodes.

current¶: Corona discharge current.

Symbol:: I
Latex:: \(I\)
Dimension:: current

experimental_coefficient¶: Coefficient of the gas which is experimentally determined.

Symbol:: A
Latex:: \(A\)
Dimension:: charge/(area*voltage)

mobility¶: mobility of charge carriers.

Symbol:: mu
Latex:: \(\mu\)
Dimension:: area/(time*voltage)

voltage¶: voltage applied.

Symbol:: V
Latex:: \(V\)
Dimension:: voltage

discharge_voltage¶: voltage at which the corona discharge occurs.

Symbol:: V_0
Latex:: \(V_{0}\)
Dimension:: voltage

law¶

I = A * mu * V * (V - V_0)

Latex:: \[I = A \mu V \left(V - V_{0}\right)\]
