When a high DC voltage is applied to a capacitor with
strongly asymmetrical electrodes, it generates a mechanical force that
affects the whole capacitor. This phenomenon is most likely to be
caused by the motion of ions generated around the smaller of the two
electrodes and their subsequent interaction with the surrounding
medium. A method to measure this force has been devised and used.
A formula describing the force has also been derived. After
comparing the data gained through experiments with those acquired
using the theoretical formula, a difference was found above a certain
value of current. This paper also gives reasons for this difference.
