This article presents the linear stability analysis of an electrified liquid sheet injected into a compressible ambient gas in the presence of a transverse electric field. The disturbance wave growth rates of sinuous and varicose modes were determined by solving the dispersion relation of the electrified liquid sheet. It was determined that by increasing the Mach number of the ambient gas from subsonic to transonic, the maximum growth rate and the dominant wave number of the disturbances were increased, and the increase was greater in the presence of the electric field. The electrified liquid sheet was more unstable than the non-electrified sheet. The increase of both the gas-to-liquid density ratio and the electrical Euler number accelerated the breakup of the liquid sheet for both modes; while the ratio of distance between the horizontal electrode and the liquid-sheet-to-sheet thickness had the opposite effect. High Reynolds and Weber numbers accelerated the breakup of the electrified liquid sheet.
