The first drop sliding down the surface carries the highest charge. For subsequent drops, the charge decreases and reaches a steady state after ca. ten drops. At the steady state, incoming drops charge the surface as quickly as the surface discharges.
Charged or electrified drops currently play a key role in various applications, ranging from microfluidic devices to agricultural treatments. Nevertheless, the effects of the electric field on surface properties of drops are not understood yet, mainly due to the lack of reliable tools and methodologies to measure such effects.
We propose that electrowetting reduces the contact angles of charged drops. The sliding drop on Teflon-quartz acquires positive charges, leaving negative surface charges behind. The related electrostatic potential leads to an electrowetting effect. To support this hypothesis, we calculate ΔγSL. First, we convert drop charges Q FIG. 2.
This positive drop electrification effect is widely attributed to the autolysis of water on hydrophobic surfaces and the adsorption of the hydroxide ion, OH –. We assume that a part of these adsorbed OH – ions do not recombine at the receding side of the drop but remain on the surface.
electrostatic potential in the order of 1 kV and change drop motion substantially. To find out how slide electrification influences the contact angles of moving drops, we analyzed the dynamic contact angles of aqueous drops sliding down tilted plates with insulated surfaces, grounded surfaces, and while grounding the drop.

Tuning the Charge of Sliding Water Drops | Langmuir
When a water drop slides over a hydrophobic surface, it usually acquires a positive charge and deposits the negative countercharge on the surface. Although the electrification of solid surfaces induced after contact with a liquid is intensively studied, the actual mechanisms of charge separation, so-termed slide electrification, are still unclear.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitor
Aluminium electrolytic capacitors are (usually) polarized electrolytic capacitors whose anode electrode (+) is made of a pure aluminium foil with an etched surface. The aluminum forms a very thin insulating layer of aluminium oxide by anodization that acts as the dielectric of the capacitor. A non-solid electrolyte covers the rough surface of the oxide layer, serving in principle as the …

When a charged capacitor is disconnected from a battery, its energy remains in the field in the space between its plates.
