What about the word unipolar?
i was wandering...
What if he meant one pole?
I was thinking about the electric fields that could be present when charging the water cell to several kilovolts and what would they do to the molecules and ions present... as stan said study of the movement and deflections of the electrons... and i found that if the system would be brought to a net positive charge there should be less electrons on the negative plate as a consequence of that.. as per stan words
The resistor 60 of FIGS. 1 and 5, connected between the exciter plate having the negative voltage applied thereto and ground is an effective current limiter/electron inhibiter. In simple terms the restriction to current flow to the negative plate is a restriction to the flow of current between the pair of plate exciters. There can be no electron leakage from the negative potential plate exciter if there are no electrons to leak.
