Term (bd) multipled by term (a) represents the saturation cha
or the maximum charge obtainable on the particle.

Term (c) determines the % of maximum number of charges and depends

primarily on the time of the particle in the field of given current and field intensity.

The time in seconds to traverse the charger is
