Abstract
The derivation of the isomotive field geometry for cieiertrophoresis assumes that the field is uniform relative to the timensions of the particie of interest. For this situation the particle may be modelled as a point dipole.
A more rigorous attempt has been made in this study to inolude contributions due to multiple effects. The error introduced by the tinite nonuniformity is investigated and presented in a generai analytical torm. A numerical result, calculated for the case of isomotive field chamber. devoia of edge effects, indicated that contributions due to multipole effects are negligible outside of a region within a few particle radii about the origin.
