If we put a neutral conducting sphere in an electric field, it will become polarized. A force per unit area will be experienced on the surface according to:
[itex]
\vec{f} = \frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}\sigma^2\hat{n}
[/itex]
My question is, does this process heat up the conductor? And if so, where is that energy coming from?
