Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgkgnjpg6d" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />We study the equilibrium shape and position of a droplet in a wedge using electrowetting. We observe that the equilibrium shape is given by a truncated sphere, at a position that is determined by the drop volume and the contact angle.</p> </abstract>
