Abstract

The potential problem is formulated for rodlike macroions and reduced to a single dimensionless equation with appropriate boundary conditions. A method of solution based on piecewise linearization of the potential equation is detailed and compared with two other approaches. It is suggested that the present method yields improved estimates of macroion charges. Some numerical results are included, and the relation between electrophoretic charge and macroion charge is considered.
