Abstract
If an insulating liquid is placed between the plates of a condenser the electric field gives rise to induced intermolecular forces which are proportional to the square of the field strength. On account of these forces there is a change in the radial distribution function. The field effect on the distribution function is calculated for the case of thermal equilibrium and for steady flow. The corresponding increment in viscosity compares not unfavourably with experimental facts.Keywords
