[NewCandle] Measuring Half-Cell Charge

[Frederick Sparber]

Rick and Keith.

Oops, Q = CV = 1.0 Coulomb at 1.0 Microfarad at 1.0 Megavolts, but a
farad at a volt or so using the bi layer of a half-cell to see if a
zero net charge configuration is acted on by an external E field is
the intent of this effort. Building a battery and/or
supercap for spheres within spheres, or tubes within tubes requires a
more complicated experiment than water in a float.

Reiterating; the Caltech Electric Field Applet suggests that no matter how high
the field/potential in the bilayer, an external field can act on a
zero net charge
combination albeit with less force.

For instance a point charge of 6 coulombs closely surrounded by six 1
coulomb point charges can be acted on by an external field. At least
according to the applet.
