Abstract: | An analytical asymptotic expression for the field strength near an ideal incompressible electrically conducting liquid drop nonlinearly vibrating in external electrostatic field E 0 is found in an order of 5/2 in a small parameter. The small parameter here is the amplitude of deformation of the spherical shape of the drop. It is found that the strength of the electric field resulting at the tops of the drop exceeds the corona-initiating field even if E 0 is one order of magnitude lower than the value at which the drop becomes unstable against the induced charge (that is, at such values of E 0 as are observed in storm clouds in full-scale experiments). |
