Abstract
The Maxwell stress tensor for the linear and uniform media in static
electromagnetic field implies a new form of pressure caused by the mutual field
energy density. When it is introduced into the fundamental thermodynamic
equation for the media, we have a new pressure-volume work term. The
combination of new term and proper electromagnetic work term naturally gives
the well-known form that is currently obtained by a working hypothesis.
