Abstract
We consider the continuum model for dielectric friction on an ion moving in a fluid. The ion may have non-zero polarizability and the frequency dependent dielectric constant of the fluid may involve more than one relaxation time. The frequency dependent friction coefficient is calculated to second order in the charge of the ion. We show that the Hubbard-Onsager theory of ionic mobility needs to be corrected.
