Electrical properties of agricultural products depend on the distribution and transport of electric charges occurring in their structure. Light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength corresponding to a photon energy of few electron volts. From a first principal‘s point of view, electrical properties of agricultural products can be diveded into two fundamentally different groups, i.e. active and passive electric properties. Passive electrical properties are very close to the electrical properties of non-living objects, which react with the presence of an electromagnetic field at the lowest, i.e. atomic and particularly molecular levels. These properties are very important from an engineering point of view. The methods of measurement of these properties and the obtained data represent the main content of this contribution., Jiří Blahovec., and Obsahuje rozsáhlý seznam literatury
