Abstract
Dielectric spheroidal systems with zero charge density contained in a piecewise uniform electrostatic field are considered. For such systems , the Gibbs equation is deduced for a set of stable-equilibrium states with all the possible values of the entropy, the volume, the electric -field magnitude and the ratio between the semi-axes of the system. Mo reover, temperature changes in quasi-static processes with constant en tropy and volume are evaluated.
