Measurements of dipole moments and a Q-patch model of collisionally charged grains

Measurements of dipole moments and a Q-patch model of collisionally charged grains

Identical glass spheres of 434 ± 17 μ m diameter are charged in collisions among each other. At slow speed some form dimers under microgravity and oscillate within the electrical field of a capacitor. The dipole moments deduced from these oscillations are large. They cannot be explained by the net c...
