Abstract
In the preceding chapter, it has been shown that a new kind of electric force acts on a dust grain due to charges induced on the conducting grain surface or charges polarized in the volume of the dielectric grain in the presence of an electric field, even if the particle is uncharged, and that this force can be greater than the usual Coulomb force acting on a grain charge under a sufficiently high ambient electric field. Since this kind of electric force on uncharged or even charged grains is usually not taken into account in the conventional dust dynamics, it is interesting to consider the electrodynamics of uncharged dust and then to see relative importance of electric forces on uncharged and charged particles.
