Stokes force
Equation
The resistance is defined in terms of the fluid viscosity and the sphere's velocity as follows:
$ F_v = b v $ |
Stokes explicitly calculated the resistance experienced by the sphere and determined that viscosity is proportional to the sphere's radius and its velocity, leading to the following equation for resistance:
$ F_v =6 \pi \eta r v $ |

Particle velocity in electric field
Equation
A charged particle
$ F = q E $ |
This force is opposed by a force due to the effect of the medium that can be modeled by Stokes law
$ F_v =6 \pi \eta r v $ |
If both forces are equalized, it is obtained that the particle moves with a constant speed equal to
$ \vec{v} = \mu \vec{E} $ |
with mobility equal to
$ \mu =\displaystyle\frac{ q }{6 \pi \eta a }$ |

Particle mobility in electric field
Equation
To equalize the force caused by the electric field
$ F = q E $ |
with the opposing force that is modeled with Stokes law
$ F_v =6 \pi \eta r v $ |
the relationship is obtained
$ \vec{v} = \mu \vec{E} $ |
with mobility equal to
$ \mu =\displaystyle\frac{ q }{6 \pi \eta a }$ |
