The effects of electrostatic forces and vertical random velocities of dust in the planetary dust rings on the static vertical dust density distribution were computed. It is shown that, when the dust particles are given a random velocity, there will be an increasing mixing of the different dust sizes as the random velocity is increased, but the electrostatic effect will still lead to the separation of dust particles according to size. A general trend in dust rings, where the largest dust particles are near the ring plane and the smallest and lightest particles are furthest above the plane, will be the existence of a halo of small dust particles with a degree of mixing of dust sizes near the ring plane.
