The threshold field of the Freedericksz transition in planar oriented S C monocrystals possessing positive dielectric anisotropy is calculated for two boundary conditions. It is shown that the threshold field is relatively low when a discontinuous transition is taken into consideration. The effective elastic constant is determined from the experimental data.
