Abstract
An applied electric field has a strong effect on the contact charging of an insulator by a metal. However, the experiments reported show that previous interpretations of the effect of an electric field are probably wrong, and that it is not possible to estimate the depth of penetration of charge from observations of the effect of an electric field on contact electrification.Keywords
