Abstract
The current-voltage (I–V) characteristic for a corona discharge in a dispersive medium is derived on the basis of the Townsend assumptions for a coaxial cylindrical system. The expressions found can be used to find the discharge current in a dispersive medium and the condition for total discharge cutoff over a wide range of concentrations of the dispersive phase. The calculated results are found to be in satisfactory agreement with experiment.
