Similar to the slip of an [electric motor](/source/Induction_motor), it can arise from a [phase lag](/source/Phase_(waves)) between an applied rotating [electric field](/source/electric_field) and the respective relaxation processes and may thus be used to investigate the processes or, if these are known or can be accurately described by models, to determine particle properties. The method is popular in [cellular](/source/Cell_(biology)) [biophysics](/source/biophysics), as it allows measuring cellular properties like [conductivity](/source/Electrical_conductivity) and [permittivity](/source/permittivity) of [cellular compartment](/source/cellular_compartment)s and their surrounding [membranes](/source/cell_membrane). ==See also== *[Dielectric relaxation](/source/Dielectric_relaxation) *[Dielectrophoresis](/source/Dielectrophoresis) *[Membrane potential](/source/Membrane_potential) ==References== {{Reflist}} Category:Biophysics Category:Electric and magnetic fields in matter {{biophysics-stub}} --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Electrorotation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrorotation) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrorotation?action=history)).
