Bert and Richard ,
Our work shows that the collecting electrode takes on negative charge
regardless! An ES voltmeter can't make this determination. An
electrometer can. Note that we have recorded DC output even from a
non-discharging disruptive system. This output is of a much lower level
than the discharging system, but there nonetheless! The electrometer is
a pivotal instrument in quantitative measurements of such systems.
