The linear Rayleigh-Bénard electro-convective stability of the Newtonian dielectric liquid is determined theoretically subject to the temperature modulation with time. A perturbation method is used to compute the critical Rayleigh number and the wave number. The critical Rayleigh number is calculated as a function of the frequency of modulation, the temperature-dependent variable viscosity, the electric field dependent variable viscosity, the Prandtl number, and the electric Rayleigh number. The effects of all three cases of modulations are established to delay or advance the onset of the convection process. In addition, how the effect of variable viscosity controls the onset of convection is studied.
