  1. The total free energy of a dielectric LL8 Section 11

  2. F is free energy with respect to charge on conductors. • For given charges and constant T, F is a minimum. • Irreversible changes occur until F is minimized an equilibrium established.

  3. Field that would be present if dielectric were gone. Old definition of free energy: New definition: Difference has nothing to do with dielectric, so the new definition should give the same thermodynamics.

  4. If the field is changed infinitesimally while maintaining equilibrium at constant T…

  5. Charge on conductor
