Abstract
When water‐in‐oil emulsions are placed in electric fields, the droplets line up into a lengthwise extended chain in the direction of the field, and then coalescence between the droplets proceeds. The process of the chain formation is studied theoretically and experimentally. Behavior for electrical coalescence of the droplets is discussed by using a model proposed by Harada.
