Free energy change via temperature change and electric displacement change ========================================================================== The infinitesimal change in (Helmholtz) free energy of a system with a dielectric medium can be expressed using the change in temperature and the change in electric displacement. **Conditions:** #. The dielectric is isotropic whether or not the electric field is present. #. The medium is homogeneous. #. The volume change of the medium is insignificant. **Links:** #.
