Abstract
Experimental data on the forms and electrical characteristics of charged meniscuses of water, ethyl alcohol, glycerin, and castor oil depending on the applied high voltage are presented. It is shown that the field effect on the meniscus is determined not only by the liquid’s conductivity, viscosity, and surface tension but also by the distribution of the field and space charge in the air.
