Abstract
The classical theory is presented for an atom with one excited electron subject to Coulomb attraction and the long-range potential of a polarisable core. The electric field must not be so strong as to mix states of different principal quantum number. The theory is an essential prerequisite for the semiclassical Stark theory of highly excited non-hydrogenic atoms and ions.Keywords
