Abstract
A rigorous deduction of the force per unit area which acts on any elec tric conductor surrounded by a linear dielectric fluid at rest is pres ented. Moreover, it is proved that the Helmholtz stress tensor is one of the infinitely many second-order tensors which yield the stresses a cting on the surface of a conductor immersed in the fluid.
