Annotation

Explanations of contradictory results in some studies of the temporal characteristics of charging dielectric targets via the electron irradiation effect are given. Disagreement is caused by the difference in the times of the appearance of a quasi-equilibrium state of two main parameters of charging, namely, the complete coefficient of secondary electron emission and the surface electrostatic potential.
