; ; ;
This paper studies birefringence under simultaneous application of electric and magnetic fields on a liquid. The anisotropy of the refractive index of colloids in the electric and magnetic fields is examined. The samples with magnetic liquid were low-concentration magnetite colloids in kerosene and transformer oil with oleic acid. It was found that, upon addition of the oleic acid, the birefringence of these dispersed media in the electric and magnetic fields is smaller by 6-7 orders of magnitude than in the magnetic colloid.
