✦ Synopsis

In a previous paper') the author has dealt with the electric conductivity of stationary and homogeneous electrolytes. To simplify the problem only binary and symmetric electrolytes in a constant electric field E have been investigated consisting of N positive ions with mass m, and charge Ze(Z = 1,2) and of N negative ions with mass m_ and charge -Ze. These ions are dissolved in a solvent and interact by the microscopic pair potentials') V+ +(r) =' V_ _(r) = g, V+_(r) = _g + V,(r) ; (l.la) Vhdr) = 0, for r > R , CQ, for r < R , (l.lb) with % v,(r) = -kTd(r -R), (l.lc) where D denotes the dielectric constant of the solvent. The theory of electric conductivity as proposed in ref. 1 has been based on the following essential
