For the system of a droplet on an insulator-coated electrode, the Lippmann-Young equation is derived by considering the deformation of interface near the three-phase contact line. The equation governing the deformation of interface, which describes the local balance of the Maxwell stress and the capillary pressure, is integrated along the interface. The integration leads to the Lippmann-Young equation which is shown to represent the macroscopic balance of horizontal force acting on entire meniscus. Young's angle is assumed to be not affected by the Maxwell stress. The meaning and validity of the assumption are discussed.
