Greetings Ivan and Listees, Some questions and ramblings here.
Does anyone know what electrical frequency these meters use for measuring? What is the spacing between the electrodes on the meter(s)? If the spacing is small and the the frequency is low enough, I can imagine the particles actually traveling back and forth between the electrodes but I think that would have a tendency to neutralize the charges on the particles that happen to hit an electrode that had the opposite polarity at that instant. With that in mind, it would seem that the spacing of the electrodes would have to be large enough and the frequency high enough that the particles can't travel fast enough for that to happen. Is the "conduction" then, similar to electrical flow through a wire? As Bob Lee has indicated in his tutorial posts, an electron travels slowly in a wire (in feet per second, as I recall), whereas an electrical influence travels at 186,000,000 miles per second. But if for a given concentration, bigger particles means fewer particles, why are fewer-bigger particles able to pass a greater influence than more-smaller particles as seems to be suggested by the rise in meter readings as the particles get bigger. Ok, I'm getting dizzy, I'll stop.
