We analyze in this article the alteration of the dripping phenomena under a periodic regime of detaching droplets that are electrified by induction. The condition imposed in the hydraulic system and that enables the droplet formation is a constant height of liquid column. Under this condition, the electrification of the droplets has consequences in the flow rate and on the dripping period. We propose to analyze the link between these two magnitudes and as a consequence of electrification is observed for a given height of liquid column a decrease in flow rate and in droplet volume accompanied by an increase in dripping period
