Estimating Particle Number in an Electric Field

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on estimating the number of charged particles (ions) in an electric field, represented by the equation W=qEr, where W is energy, q is charge, E is the electric field strength, and r is the distance from the source. Participants clarify that there is no direct relationship between the number of particles and the energy formulation provided. The conversation emphasizes the need for additional context or parameters to accurately estimate particle numbers in such fields.

TL;DR
In an electric field how the ion numbers are calculated?
In an electric field ##E## if the energy of charged particle (ion) is formulated as ##W=qEr## where ##r## is the distance, how the number of particles is estimated?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There is no relationship between 'the number of particles' and anything else you write. Or is there ?
