Abstract

A set of characteristic parameters is given for electrophoresis accompanied by diffusion, followed by a method of simplification of the transport equation. The concept of electrophoretic similarity is introduced in connection with the presentation of solutions and the final section contains some dimensional considerations of the potential equation.
