Analysis types
  • DC conduction + Electrostatics


Keywords :

charged particles movement, electrostatics

Useful informations :

1/2m*speed**2 + qV = cste , q = particle charge, V voltage, m mass
m*acceleration = q*E

Explanation : Toner particles can or cannot reach the paper sheet
according the voltage of the nozzle.
toner deposit geometry
