Hello and Debye

Hey Chris, in the article on the Debye-Hückel equation, you write "The paper deals with the calculation of properties of electrolyte solutions that are not under the influence of net electric fields, thus it deals with electrostatics" (emphasis added). But isn't this a definition of electrostatic equilibrium rather than electrostatics? By the way, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your wonderful contributions!

Lol. Great section title. What I was trying to say was that it deals with the case where there is no unbalanced force causing an (average) acceleration (to some eventual non-zero terminal velocity) of the ions. There are solutions where the ions are under the influence of a net electric field; these occur in electrochemical cells. ChrisChiasson 01:16, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
