Abstract
PROF. E. N. da C. Andrade and C. Dodd have described1 their investigations of the effect of an electric field on the viscosity of a number of organic liquids. They state that they found an increase of viscosity of up to 60 per cent in polar liquids, while non-polar liquids showed no increased viscosity.
