This paper summarizes the existing theories of the behaviour of particles in an electric field with special reference to the electrostatic precipitation of flue dust in power stations burning pulverized coal. The theoretical relation between particle size and precipitation efficiency is not borne out in practice and an endeavour is made to resolve the discrepancy by considering the molecular and electric forces acting on particles after they have been deposited on the collecting electrodes.
