Across-channel concentration and electrostatic potential distributions of the production of daughter atoms as a radioactive gas decays under the influence of charge variations have been considered for both a rectangular channel and cylindrical tube. Generalized backward differentiation, implicit, linear multistep formulas were utilized to obtain solutions at variations of parameter fields. It was found that a greater electric field intensity can be established in rectangular channels versus cylindrical tubes under identical charge parameterization.
