Abstract
An expression for the rate of production of entropy in a homogeneous solid conductor is obtained and in the process leads to a natural selection of current densities. It is shown that these current densities when written from the microscopic point of view give a system of equations satisfying Onsager's theorem, thus facilitating a comparison between microscopic and macroscopic transport phenomena.
