Figure 6

Study of the effect of the different parameters on cell elongation. (a) Variation of non-dimensional strain vs differential potential. The inset gives the fact that elongation is directly dependent on power two of the applied voltage. (b) Variation of non-dimensional strain vs the difference between medium and cell permittivity. (c) Normalized non-dimensional strain with the difference of medium and cell permittivity vs difference of medium and cell permittivity, which shows a nonlinear relationship. (d) Error expected in approximation used to simplify elongation's dependency on the permittivity of particle and medium. The error for different sizes of cells and electrodes is less than 5.5. (e) Variation of non-dimensional strain vs gap (d) Variation of non-dimensional strain vs width of electrode.
