Abstract:
Voltages are applied by a voltage application device having an electrode circuit including a plurality of electrode connection parts connected in series via a resistance R between neighboring electrode connection parts; and power sources P for outputting both positive and negative polarities, each power source connected to both ends of the electrode circuit. The method of applying a voltage includes determining a polarity and a magnitude of an output voltage of so that a voltage having a predetermined polarity and magnitude is applied to the electrodes; and based on the polarities, switching the polarities of the output voltages by switching the polarities of the output voltages of the plurality of power sources P one at a time while maintaining a state where a polarity of an output voltage of at least one power source P, among the plurality of power sources P, is different from others.

Claim (Index 2):
A voltage application device, comprising:\n a) an electrode circuit including a plurality of electrode connection parts connected in series via a resistance between neighboring electrode connection parts; b) a plurality of power sources capable of outputting a voltage of both positive and negative polarities, the plurality of power sources each being connected to both ends and at least in one intermediate position of the electrode circuit; c) a storage section in which output voltage information and polarity switching order information determined based on the output voltage information are stored, the output voltage information being information on the polarity and the magnitude of the output voltage of each of the plurality of power sources and the polarity switching order information being information on an order of switching the polarities of the output voltages of all the power sources by switching the polarity of the output voltage of the plurality of power sources one at a time while maintaining a state where the polarity of the output voltage of at least one power source among the plurality of power sources, is different from others; and d) a power source control unit for outputting the voltages with the polarities and the magnitude based on the output voltage information, from the plurality of power sources and switching in turn the polarities of the output voltages of the plurality of power sources, based on the polarity switching order information at a predetermined timing.
