In this work we consider the problem related to the electro-thermo-convection of a dielectric fluid in a rectangular enclosure placed between two electrodes. This layer is subjected simultaneously to the injection of electric charges and to a thermal gradient. The influence of the electric Rayleigh number (200 - 1000) on the structure of the flow, the density of electric charge and heat transfer is investigated. An oscillatory flow is observed and discussed in detail.
