Abstract

A Maxwell relation is presented involving current-induced forces. It provides a new physical picture of the origin of current-induced forces and in the small-voltage limit it enables the identification of a simple thermodynamic potential which drives electromigration. The question of whether current-induced forces are conservative or non-conservative is discussed briefly in the light of these insights.
