Theory of Electrode Polarization in Dielectrophoresis and Electrorotation

The analysis begun in the previous paper on the role of electrode polarization in experimental measurements using dielectrophoresis and electrorotation in a polar spherical coordinate frame is extended to include other curvilinear coordinate systems. The Green functions, as derived in the previous paper in terms of the Dyson equation, is shown to obey a variational theorem that allows the inclusion of the equilibrium potential and the Stern layer effect neglected thus far.
