“…Therefore, small particles can carry a larger amount of charge than that is normally expected. There have been several theoretical predictions (Harper, 1967, Pedersen, 1967, Elghazaly and Castle, 1987, Pedersen, 1989, Crowley, 1991, Nakajima and Sato, 1999a for the maximum charge of spherical solid particles sustainable in normal air. Fig.15 shows them with the Rayleigh fission data for glycerol droplets in normal air in a bold broken line.…”
