The thermodynamics of bodies in static electromagnetic fields

  • V. Heine (a1)
Abstract

The thermodynamic behaviour of a body in a static electromagnetic field depends only on the field over the region of the body itself, whence its own thermodynamic behaviour is determined even in the presence of other polarizable media. Its behaviour depends only on the entropy density, for in fact no real energy density need exist. Also new formulae are developed for the energy and for the entropy of a body in electric and magnetic fields, including those due to permanent magnets.
