Any number of possibilities exist for the choice of generalized coordinates to be used for a given problem. As mentioned earlier in the lecture, we need to guarantee that the choice of coordinates ...

Figure 1: Schematic of the system setup for modelling conduction in a nanoscale conductor. To show that the force under current is not conservative, we consider its curl 16, given by equation (5) ...
