Abstract :
In unipolar DC corona, the assumption that the coronating conductor gradient is always constant at the onset value regardless of the level of the applied voltage has been repeatedly questioned in the literature. Rigorous assessment of the influence of his assumption on the ionised field quantities is the aim of the letter.
