Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-9"> <span style="font-family: Lora, serif; font-size: 20px;"> The&nbsp;characteristic&nbsp;equation showing the dependence of the steady&hyphen;state&nbsp;current&nbsp;for point&hyphen;to&hyphen;plane electrical&nbsp;corona discharges&nbsp;on the point&hyphen;to&hyphen;plane potential and other relevant parameters is derived. The mathematical model is based on hyperboloid point to plane geometry and assumes a constant charge&hyphen;carrier&nbsp;mobility&nbsp;with a constant potential drop across the corona&nbsp;glow&nbsp;region. The equation is an exact relationship for this geometry in that no calculation approximations are used in its derivation. </span></div>
