ELECTROKINETICS

Electrophoretic velocity  $ v$
Electrophoretic mobility ( + for positive particle)  $ u_e$,$ u$
($ = v/E$)   
Electro-osmotic velocity (per unit field strength)   $ u_{\text{e.o.}}$, $ u$
( + for flow to lower potential)   
Electro-osmotic volume flow  $ J_v$
Electro-osmotic pressure  $ {\Delta}p$
( + if high pressure on high potential side)   
Streaming potential difference   $ E_{\text{st}}$,$ E$
( + if high potential is on high pressure side)   
Streaming current  $ I$
( + if electric current is in the same direction as the volume flow)   
Sedimentation potential difference   $ E_{\text{sed}}$,$ E$
( + if lower (peripheral) electrode is negative)   
Sedimentation field strength   $ \bm{E}_{\text{sed}}$
Surface (excess) conductivity   $ {\kappa}^{\sigma}$
Electrokinetic potential (zeta potential)  $ {\zeta}$
