A dust void is a dust-free region in dusty plasma. Theory demonstrates that the void results from the balance of the electrostatic and plasma (such as the ion drag) forces acting on a dust particle. In dusty plasma experiments, physical properties of the void show clear dependence on the power input into the plasma (in particular, its size increases with the increase of the applied power). Here, the theory and numerical results are presented for such a dependence.
