ABSTRACT

An investigation in the Mechanical and Electric Engineering Higher School of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico City, was carried out from May to June, 2016, aimed at determining how the tissue damage space pattern changes with the electrodes position form in three-dimensional pieces of potato (Solanum tuberosum L) under the 10 MA action during 30 minutes for electrodes position with cholineal, round, elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic forms). The results showed a close relationship between the tissue damage and the electrodes position form, as well as some findings that are also observed in tumors, such as: circular necrosis around all the electrodes, extensive tissue damage in space and time, bubbling around the cathode, white area near the anode; likewise, it was observed that the regions far from the electrodes were not affected.
