Abstract
Steady-state deformation of a vesicle with a membrane of arbitrary conductance in an alternating electric field is discussed. A simple formula is obtained for the elongation modulus of the vesicle as a function of the frequency of the applied field. The dependences of this modulus on the conditions in the medium and the membrane characteristics are illustrated in detail. Experimental applicability to the extraction of information on the characteristics of a vesicle are discussed.
