Model Calculations of the Interaction Between an AC Corotron and a Moving Dielectric

The dependence of the voltage on a moving dielectric exiting an ac corotron on such input variables as corotron frequency, process speed, ac current, dc current, position on the dielectric, and incoming potential are discussed. The voltage excursion occurring as the dielectric passes beneath the ac corotron are shown. The results demonstrate that surprisingly large voltage excursions can occur, with implications for the case where the dielectric is a real photoconductor.
