Abstract

Two constraints on the form of the mechanical stress tensor for an uncharged and linear dielectric fluid at rest in a magnetostatic field are determined. Moreover, it is shown that the stress tensor proposed by Helmholtz, that proposed by Einstein-Laub and that proposed by Liu-Muller are unacceptable as mechanical stress tensors for a dielectric fluid in the conditions stated above.
