Spashing across the TV and headline news come the report that people at the  
National Science Foundation has been watching porn on the internet. PETA is on

...and you don't have the lecture notes any more?

The problem with net charge on a gas, is that it has to be in some form of
container, and I suspect the charge will end up on the wall of the container
rather than on the gas.

  Howdy David,
  I believe I know where you are going with this.. brings back memories of the 
1960's.
  Using air, at stp you may try using a differential pressure  flow measuring 
devices like a simple  1/16" orifice. 

  This flow  would  measure the free discharge of air  to atmosphere  from a 
tank that maintains a constant internal pressure. You should achieve terminal 
velocity of the air flow at approx. 5 PSID at sea level. Various experiments 
with magnets and electric arcs, solenoids, etc. can be performed within the 
tank while watching the flow meter. You may also change the s,g of the gas.
  As Robin suggests, the mathematics can be difficult, but any need to know the 
permitivity .. i.e, the electric constant  relates to your end result so who 
cares what the ec is.
  The tank of air provides you with the tools.
  If you want to have a little fun with this experiment.. start with air and 
begin blending CO2 gas in to the refilling of the air tank.. as the CO2 
discharges to atmosphere.. fun stuff begins. Especially if you  aim one of the 
new hydrogen cutting torches at the gas discharge.

I have no idea, but I suspect it would be quite a complicated calculation, 
and
also depend on density of the gas. Actually I'm not sure it's even possible 
to
create a gas with a significant net charge, so you might consider air at 
STP as
a reasonable starting point, in which case the relevant relative constants 
are
close to 1 (IOW treat it as a vacuum).


  Theretically anything is possible.

  I consider ordinary air in reasonable temperature ranges. I have seen 
calculations like this being performed on lectures but I do not remember enough 
of them.

Hi

Please tell me how to calculate the permittivity, the electrical constant ε
and the permeability, magnetic constant μ, in a gas with some net charge.
There are no free electrons. The gas is made from diatomic molecules.
