Abstract
The variation of the current with concentration of solute in the system tetra-iso-pentyl ammonium nitrate (TIPAN)—p-azoxyanisole is shown to depend on ionic equilibrium. Variation of the current with temperature depends almost entirely on the fluidity of the solvent; in the nematic range, the fluidity depends on the orientation of the solvent with respect to the current direction. The extent of this orientation depends on solute concentration—an increase in solute concentration causes an increase in fluidity.
