The deformation of water droplets in an electric field has been studied in hydrocarbon liquids. A water drop will elongate in an electric field due to the electrostatic pressure, and becomes unstable when a critical field limit is reached. By applying different voltage waveforms it is possible to measure both transient, time varying and static effects. An experimental method has been developed to...
