The standard equations developed to describe the electrophoretic motion of a charged particle immersed in an electrolyte subjected to an oscillating electric field are solved numerically with a new technique suitable for stiff systems. The focus of this work is to use this solution to determine the dynamic particle mobility, one of several quantities that can be extracted from these equations. This solution is valid from low frequencies to indefinitely high frequencies and has no restriction on zeta potential, double-layer thickness, or electrolyte composition. The solution has been used to calculate the dynamic electrophoretic mobility of a particle for a wide range of double-layer thicknesses and zeta potentials. The solution agrees with analytic approximations obtained previously by other authors under the conditions of a thin double layer and low zeta potential. The results are also consistent with calculations valid at frequencies where the ion diffusion length extends a significant distance beyond the double layer as obtained by another numerical technique.
