Table 4.1. Electrical Relaxation Mechanism
(Schwan, 1975)

Three categories of relaxation effects are listed as they contribute to gross and fine structure relaxational effects. They include induced-dipole effects (Maxwell-Wagner and counterion) and permanent-dipole effects (Debye).

Inhomogeneous structure (Maxwell-Wagner)
Permanent-dipole rotation (Debye)
, tail
Subcellular organelles (Maxwell-Wagner)
Counterion relaxation
