Experimental results are reported which show the amount of corona charging of polar and nonpolar liquid droplets during brief exposure to ionic currents. They show that the nonpolar materials tested acquired from 10 to 36 percent less charge than equivalent water droplets and that the polar materials acquired from 1 to 15 percent more charge than the water. These differences are not predicted by the...
