  • Abstract
    An internal charging code, which is called NUMerical InTegration, has been used on many occasions to study the charging and discharging characteristics of dielectrics in space. The capabilities and limitations of the code are reviewed in this paper. In particular, the basic assumptions of the model are briefly discussed, and an example for the internal charging in the Juno environment is presented.
