Other well known ponderomotive forces, like the Stern-Gerlach's force and a force term related to the Einstein-de Haas's effect are also obtained. In addition, a new force term appears, possibly related to a change in weight when a system of charged particles is accelerated.10 pagesClassical PhysicsGeneral PhysicsInformation-theoretic determination of ponderomotive forcestext
