Abstract
We discuss the mechanism of the influence of the multiply-charged colloidal clusters on linear electric transport in diluted polyelectrolytes. The structure of these colloids has well known form. They are effectively neutral and cannot participate in the transfer of charges in the solution. Nevertheless, there is a linear increase in the conductivity of colloidal polyelectrolyte with an increase in the density of colloids. This phenomenon is observed experimentally. It is shown that this happens due to the change of electric field in the polyelectrolyte under the effect of colloidal particle polarization.
