Sedimentation field strength

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010651",
  "term": "Sedimentation field strength",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The electric field strength produced along a column of suspension in which charged particles are settling under gravity or in a centrifuge, written E_sed and given in volts per metre. It leaves out the potential steps at the electrodes, so it can be derived in theory but not read from a meter. It underlies the measured sedimentation potential, known as the Dorn effect.",
