Abstract:
The frequency dependence of forces and torques acting on two parallel cylinders in a periodic field is investigated. The permittivities are assumed to have imaginary parts a) due to an electric conductance or b) due to a single Debye relaxation. At the transition frequencies a change of the sign of the force components or of the torque can take place. Marked deviations from the “long distance laws” occur for small cylinder distances.
