Abstract
WITH the use of a rotating-probe electrometer1, high-resolution measurements of induced surface charges have revealed some significant charge differences between short- and long-time periods of ionization. This difference may lead to a better understanding of the mechanism of dielectric failure in the presence of gaseous ionization.
