On the apparent saturation of the dipole induced in a rodlike polyion at high electric fields.
It has been inferred from electric birefringence and electric dichroism data that the field-induced dipole moment on charged rodlike particles saturates at higher field strengths. We give theoretical justification for this interpretation of the data. We calculate the threshold field marking the onset of saturation and compare the result with measured values.
