The minimum free energy for an electromagnetic conductor

Pages 67-87 | Accepted 02 Sep 2003, Published online: 15 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

We consider the linear theory of the electromagnetism characterized by a constitutive equation for the current density with memory effects. We find in the frequency domain a first expression of the minimum free energy, which is the maximum recoverable work we can obtain from a given state of the material. By using another equivalent formulation of the minimum free energy, we give the explicit formulae for the particular case of a discrete spectrum model material response.
