The Effect of an Electric Field on the Growth of Frost

Year: 1955
Type: article
Abstract: The frost insulated electrically was produced in an electric field and the measurement of the charge on the frost was attempted by HANKEL's electrometer method.The attempt, however, failed owing to COULOMB's force between positive and negative charges induced by the polarization on the frost.It was quantitatively observed by successive photographs that the growth of frost developed along the line of force.Through the experiments, it was considered that the acceleration of growth of frost and development along the line of force was resulted from the attraction of supercooled water droplets polarized by the electric field.
