Abstract
When a dielectric is subjected to an electric field, mechanical forces will be developed tending to deform the dielectric. A direct calculation of these forces is given using the polarization theory of dielectrics and it is shown that the result agrees with that derived from the Helmholtz energy method, the validity of which is proved. Only isotropic dielectrics are considered.Keywords
