Abstract:
Despite copious experimental results, space
charge formation in dielectrics is yet to be understood.
Dynamics of current conduction across dielectric
specimen is attributed for the formation of different
types of space charges. However, analytical treatment of
relation between conduction and different types of space
charge formation is scanty in the literature. As a first
step, the author presents analytical solutions to the
steady-state dc problem including the effect of diffusion.
The author's solutions throw light on certain
experimentally observed space charge phenomena in
LDPE and found to match with experimental results
available in the literature. Several interesting
results/observations are presented in the paper
