Abstract
The Brownian rotational relaxation time of nonspherical particles in a fluid suspension is observed to be a function of an applied electric field. The theory is developed for transient rotational diffusion in the presence of an electric field. An effective relaxation time is observed which decreases significantly at high values of the field, in agreement with theory.
