Question
Concern an electric dipole in an electric field. Clinical
studies suggest that an oscillating electric field can
disrupt rapidly dividing tumor cells. Dividing cells form a
structure called the mitotic spindle that is composed
primarily of microtubules. Microtubules have a large
electric dipole moment, and it is hypothesized that the
response of the microtubules to an oscillating electric
field interferes with cell division. (Figure 1) shows an
electric dipole in a nonuniform electric field.
