I voted affect. To effect a physical state would mean to cause it, while to affect a physical state would mean to influence/change it. Yes? It seems clear to me that talking about affecting a physical state is what would be "standard" here.

Another story is that if you meant effect when you wrote effect, then effect is the correct word to use. Yet another story is that I can't see how your statement can be anything but wrong.

Oh well, why am I replying. English is not even my first language.
