Description
Summary:A CONSIDERABLE volume of experimental data concerning the problems of high field conductivity and the electrical breakdown in liquid dielectrics is now in existence, and many theories have been proposed to explain these results. Nevertheless it is rather doubtful whether it will be possible to choose the right one without an understanding of the negative charge carriers and their high field mobility. With the exception of the measurements of Chong 1 , there are no mobility data at high field strengths. On the contrary, a number of papers concerning the mobility of ions in low fields have been published 2–5 . The most systematic investigations concerning this problem were carried out by I. Adamczewski.
