On the Measured Current in Electrospinning

The origin and scaling of the current measured during steady electrospinning of polymer solutions in organic solvents are considered. For a specified electric field strength E, flow rate Q, and conductivity K, the total measured current is shown empirically to scale as Itotal ∼ EQ0.5K0.4, for a wide...
