Abstract

A method for calculating the induced multipoles on interacting dielectric spheres in the presence of an external electric field is derived. Losses in the medium and the particles are included in this model. The results for the dipole moments and the interaction force between two dielectric spheres are strongly dependent on these losses. The model can be applied to dielectric particles as well as to bubbles in a liquid, and can be useful for studying dielectric properties of biological cells.
