    Notes: Abstract It is shown by a thermodynamic argument that under isobaric and adiabatic conditions a change in the electric field applied to a non-polar dielectric will result in a temperature change. An increase in the field produces a lowering of the temperatures while a decrease of the field causes the opposite effect. It is suggested that this may be the origin of the initial positive heat observed in nerves during excitation. A numerical estimate of the size of the effect agrees well with the observed initial positive heat in rabbit vagus nerves.
