Abstract
Electron emission experiments can throw light on the surface heat of charging only if the density of electrons in equilibrium with an emitting surface is the same whether evaporation occurs with constant surface charge or with surface charge equal (and opposite in sign) to evaporated charge. This equality is proved thermodynamically in the present note.
