Consider a spherical ion i of radius r
i
immersed in an infinite volume of liquid. This ion, which has a surface charge Q
i
gives rise to a symmetrical charge distribution in the liquid. By linearizing the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, Debye and Hückel calculated the potential distributionΦ at any point outside the ion, located at a distance x
