Comparison of electric field strengths relative to gravity in a pure hydrogen star (﹩M=1.0\;{{\rm{M}}}_{\odot }﹩, ﹩{T}_{\mathrm{eff}}=5.74\;\times \;{10}^{3}\;{\rm{K}}﹩, ﹩L=0.576\;{{\rm{L}}}_{\odot }﹩) with nuclear burning artificially suppressed in the MESA routine to avoid any helium contamination. Solid lines represent the analytic expression given by Equation (106) for two different values of the coefficient ﹩{\alpha }_{e}﹩. Dashed lines represent output from the MESA diffusion routine as described in Equation (102), with the only difference being the resistance coefficients used to solve the Burgers equations.
