Abstract:: Abstract: Objective To study the effect of the relative positions among multiple cells on electric field stress distribution under electric field. Methods The electric field distributions both inside and outside a single cell were obtained by solving the Laplace equations that satisfied the boundary conditions, while those of multiple cells were obtained by electric field simulation software ANSYS-Maxwell. The corresponding electric field stress distribution was analyzed using Maxwell stress tensor method. Results The distribution of electric field stress on the cell surface had certain symmetry for 3-cell system, compared with that of a single cell. The induction intensity between cells changed with cell spacing. When the cell spacing was large enough, the interaction between cells turned negligible, and it could be approximated as a single cell model. Conclusion The distribution of electric field stress on the cell surface is affected by the number and spacing of cells. The cell deformation under electric field is related to the electric field stress on the cell surface.
