Default E-Field across MEAT

A few weeks ago, I asked about generating an 140kHz electric field

turns out I misread the roster and was in the wrong group.

What I ACTUALLY NEED to do is generate a 100kHz electric field, at
1v/cm, across a T-Bone steak, to measure whether it retards or
accelerates decomposition over time. *The hypothesis is that the e-field
retards growth of certain bacteria inside the meat.

By design, we have not been instructed exactly how to construct the
methods and apparatus. *I have at my disposal a function generator and
various amplifiers.

It is a gross oversimplification to just connect one wire to one end of
the steak, and another wire at the other end, and apply 20V RMS across a
20cm steak to generate 1V/cm?

Thanks. *Sorry about the idiot questions.


What you are refering to is the induction process as applied to
present day induction cookers
available in stors for the general consumer
