Abstract
An attempt is made to assess quantitatively the dielectrophoretic force in liquids under the action of a nonuniform electric field. Applying 3 kV dc to two partly immersed electrodes of 0.13 mm radius, 1.3 cm apart, acetone would be pulled up to a height of 7.2 cm at the electrodes, if this phenomenon could be ascribed to dielectrophoretic force only.Keywords
