The disintegration of charged drops on comparable pieces in an electrical field

The review of researched dedicated disintegration of a charged liquid drop on comparable pieces in different condition is carried out. On an example of instability of the solitary charged drop the quality reasoning which are accounting for this phenomena are systematized. The capability of propagation of these reasoning on more composite cases of a charged drop in external electrical field is considereed. The most actual directions of further researches are indicated.
