Gas slip correction to Stokes drag
= Gas slip correction to Stokes drag
{title2=$k=6\pi\eta a/C$}
The <dimensionless> factor $C$ compares a corrected <linear drag> resistance with the continuum <Stokes's law>: dividing by $C>1$ reduces the resistance. The <oil drop charge readout and calibration> article explains why this matters for <electric charge> inference.
