ELECTROPHORESIS IN THE TOTAL (CONSTANT AND ALTERNATING) ELECTRIC FIELD. II. PECULIARITIES OF THE COMBINED IMPACT OF ALTERNATING AND CONSTANT ELECTRIC FIELDS

The hydrodynamics of electrophoresis under the simultaneous impact of constant and alternating electric fields is considered. It has been shown that when the constant and alternating external fields are combined, the energy of the constant electric field is transferred into the alternating hydrodynamic field. An example is given of a dispersed medium in which a giant dispersion of the dielectric constant can arise, which in turn can contribute to an increase in the total electrophoresis rate. Analogies of the behavior of the considered dispersed medium with the action of an electroacoustic transducer based on the use of electrokinetic phenomena are given.
