Dipole Relaxation in an Electric Field.
Neumann, Richard M.
American Journal of Physics, v48 n7 p543-45 Jul 1980
Derives an expression for the orientational entropy of a rigid rod (electric dipole) from Boltzmann's equation. Subsequent application of Newton's second law of motion produces Debye's classical expression for the relaxation of an electric dipole in a viscous medium. (Author/GS)
