FIGURE 3

A parity plot of the extension of a polyelectrolyte found from MC simulations of an FJC in a constant electric field versus the extension in the field found from the full solution of Laplace's equation around an elliptical post. The straight line through the origin has a slope of 1, demonstrating that the perturbation of the field by the post has no effect on the total stretching of the chain. The data points are for 1 V/cm (•), 2.5 V/cm (▪), 5 V/cm (▴), 10 V/cm (▾), and 20 V/cm (♦). The inset plots the x-component of the electric field around the post for a bulk electric field of 10 V/cm.
