Abstract :
A discussion of the formation of the positive and negative charges left on the surface of insulation as a result of the electric discharge between a metal and a dielectric surface. Results of measurements with the rotating probe electrometer are given. This new method has opened up many experimental techniques for studying the influence of surface charges in high-voltage phenomena.
