Current distribution in a liquid electrospray system with two counter-electrodes

We have experimentally studied the distribution of current in an electrospray system with two counter-electrodes. It is established that, at low values of the total current, its distribution between these electrodes is proportional to the electric field flux to a given electrode. As the total current grows, this proportionality changes toward more uniform distribution, probably, due to increased role of a space charge producing mutual repulsion of charged particles.
