VD91=VA-(R911+△R911)×I・・・式(1)
ここで、VAは電極9121A、9121B間に印加される電圧を示し、Iは放電開始時に電極子部9122A、9122Bに流れる電流を表す。

ここで、VAは電極21A、21B間に印加される電圧を示し、Iは放電開始時に電極子部221A、221Bに流れる電流を表す。
下の表1に示す。
本実施の形態に係るオゾン生成用素子は、電極の形状が実施の形態1に係るオゾン生成用素子10とは相違する。図11に示すように、本実施の形態に係るオゾン生成用素子2010は、誘電体基板13と、一対の電極2021A、2021Bと、充填ビア26A、26Bと、一対の裏面電極(図示せず)と、を備える。このオゾン生成用素子2010も実施の形態1に係るオゾン生成用素子10と同様に、一対の裏面電極に交流電源を接続した状態で使用される。なお、図11において、実施の形態1と同様の構成には同一の符号を付している。また、オゾン生成用素子2010は、図11では図示しないが、実施の形態1で図1および図3を用いて説明したような誘電体層12と裏面電極25A、25Bとを備える。
以上、本発明の各実施の形態について説明したが、本発明は前述の各実施の形態の構成に限定されるものではない。例えば、1つの電極子部組を構成する電極子部の数がN個(Nは3以上の整数)であってもよい。この場合、電極は、N(Nは4以上の整数)の倍数個の電極子部を有する。
