Tóm tắt

The time dependence of the ion current density for a cylindrical probe with a negative self-consistent nonstationary charge in the ionosphere plasma is determined. This dependence is a transient characteristic of this probe, which is analogous to the current-voltage characteristic of the Langmuir probe.
