Assumptions:

No stacking, RTP, dry air, pure dc, no other dielectrics.
Corona Wire diameter <0.5mm, foil shape - airfoil, element length >> air gap.
Particle motion is continuous & non relativistic, negligible magnetic fields.
All constants in this calculator have been derived from actual experiments.
