A few weeks ago, I asked about generating an 140kHz electric field across a
leaf, part of a bio-med lab. Thanks for the answers. But it 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.

Hi Jon

Is it practical for you to place the T-Bone between two plates?
I would try a pair of parallel plates with the T-bone between them, fed
with a 100 KHz, generator and the voltage across the plates adjusted to
produce the field strength you want.
