Summary

Skew symmetricOnsager coefficients, which arise in the presence of magnetic fields, are included in the linear theory of irreversible thermodynamics. The motion of the thermodynamic coordinates is affected by a) decrease of the damping terms; b) an oscillatory motion is imparted; and c) the motion cannot be expanded in orthogonal components. Irreversible thermodynamics, conservation principles, andMaxwell relations are then applied to a charged particle moving in an electromagnetic field.

Zusammenfassung

SchiefsymmetrischeOnsager-Koeffizienten, die in Gegenwart magnetischer Felder auftreten, werden in die lineare irreversible Thermodynamik einbezogen. Die Bewegung der thermodynamischen Koordinaten wird beeinflußt a) durch die Abnahme der Dämpfungsglieder, b) durch Aufprägen einer oszillatorischen Bewegung und c) dadurch, daß die Bewegung nicht nach orthogonalen Komponenten entwickelt werden kann. Irreversible Thermodynamik, Erhaltungsprinzipien undMaxwellsche Beziehungen werden dann auf ein geladenes Teilchen angewendet, das sich in einem elektromagnetischen Feld bewegt.
