Examination of Kerr effects of non-uniform electric fields

Summary form only given. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. The Kerr effect has been used for many years to study space charge variation and make electrical measurements, Measurements are normally made with two parallel plates surrounded with nitrobenzen, or other suitable Kerr liquid. The plate to separatien size ratio is normally kept large to assure uniform fields for measurement.
