A formula for the current of drops for the case of the condensation on ions was derived using Frenkel's method. An approximate formula for the time of condensation, i.e., the time elapsed from the beginning of supersaturation up to its complete disappearance, was developed. This time was read from the oscilloscope record of temperature versus time for the expansion in the Wilson chamber. Experiments confirmed the theoretical formula. A rather complicated equation expressing the dependence of the mass of condensed vapor on time was established. It requires a numerical solution.
