The electrical conductivity is calculated for regular inhomogeneous two component isotropic medium in which droplets of one phase with conductivity sigma_2 are embedded in another, with conductivity sigma_1. An expression is formulated…
We investigate one of the consequences of the three competing models describing the mechanical interaction of light with a dielectric medium. According to both the Abraham and Minkowski models the time-averaged force density is zero inside…

The flow of a liquid crystal around a particle does not only depend on its shape and the viscosity coefficients but also on the direction of the molecules. We studied the resulting drag force on a sphere moving in a nematic liquid crystal…
