Abstract
We evaluate the effect of ions on the electric response of an insulting liquid by means of the total electric polarization induced in a cell by an external field. The limiting surfaces are assumed blocking and identical and the ions pointike nonpolarizable charged particles. The analysis is limited to the case where the selective ionic adsorption is absent, in such a manner that in the absence of external electric field the sample is locally and globally neutral. We obtain formulas for the effective dielectric constant renormalized by the presence of the ions in the absence and presence of adsorption from the surfaces. Our results coincide with those obtained by means of the electric impedance of the cell. From the coincidence of the results relevant to the effective dielectric constant we infer that the ions in an insulating liquid do not have a conductive or dielectric nature. They are just electric charges dissolved in an insulating liquidPubblicazioni consigliate
