Abstract
This chapter is devoted to the analysis of electrical phenomena. After establishing the generalised equations for electrical transport, we analyse in the first section the second moments of the current fluctuations in non-equilibrium steady states, and discuss the crossed terms which link fluxes and forces. In the second section, we revisit Onsager’s reciprocal relations and observe that the formalism of extended irreversible thermodynamics (EIT) is closer to Onsager’s original treatment than classical irreversible thermodynamics (CIT), as already mentioned in Box 13.2.
