The phenomenon of electrorotation of cells with a more complicated shape than the spherical one has been theoretically investigated. The cell membrane was assumed to consist of several layers differing by their electrical characteristics while all boundaries to be cofocal ellipsoids of revolution (elongated or flattened). Even for rather strongly deformed cells the speed of rotation was shown to equal (to the accuracy of about tens of percent) that of the spherical cell of the same volume.
