It can be derived in the limit of small potentials from a linearized form of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation.
It can be derived in the limit of small potentials from a linearized form of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Lars Onsager published a correction to this theory that includes the effects of Brownian motion. An important parameter in this theory is the screening length named for one of its two namesakes; that screening length parametrizes the effects of the counterion atmosphere which collects around macroions in solution. FTP, identify this theory of strong electrolytes, named for its two discoverers.
