The electric currents I, associated with drying rates of discs of paper toweling and cotton cloth wetted with water have been measured as functions of several parameters: E, the strength of the electric field in which the discs were placed; T, the temperature; H, the percent relative humidity. Drying rates increased monotonically with E, and typical drying times decreased by factors of up to about 10 as E rose from 0 to above 7kV/cm. Measured electric currents over this range of E increased 3-4 orders of magnitude. A solid dielectric object placed in the electric field caused I to be reduced proportionately to the area of the disc that was blocked by the object.
