Abstract
The ambipolar diffusion problem in a positive column is studied when charged particle inertia, heating and the mobility variation of positive ions in the radial electric field are taken into consideration. The atomic ion motion in their respective parent gases is approximated by the hard sphere model. The problem was also solved by approximate methods and compared with the precision numerical calculations. A simple formula for number density of charged particles at the boundary plasma-sheath was found.
