* @defgroup relatedProps Electric Properties of Phases
*
* Computation of the electric properties of phases
*
* ### Treatment of the phase potential and the electrochemical potential of a species
*
* The electrochemical potential of species @f$ k @f$ in a phase @f$ p @f$, @f$ \zeta_k @f$,
* is related to the chemical potential via the following equation,
*
* @f[
* \zeta_{k}(T,P) = \mu_{k}(T,P) + z_k \phi_p
* @f]
*
* where @f$ \nu_k @f$ is the charge of species @f$ k @f$, and @f$ \phi_p @f$ is
* the electric potential of phase @f$ p @f$.
*
* The potential @f$ \phi_p @f$ is tracked and internally stored within the
* base ThermoPhase object. It constitutes a specification of the internal state
* of the phase; it's the third state variable, the first two being temperature
* and density (or, pressure, for incompressible equations of state). It may be
* set with the function, ThermoPhase::setElectricPotential(), and may be
* queried with the function ThermoPhase::electricPotential().
*
* Note, the overall electrochemical potential of a phase may not be changed
* by the potential because many phases enforce charge neutrality:
*
* @f[
* 0 = \sum_k z_k X_k
* @f]
*
* Whether charge neutrality is necessary for a phase is also specified within
* the ThermoPhase object, by the function call
* ThermoPhase::chargeNeutralityNecessary(). Note, that it is not necessary for
* the IdealGas phase, currently. However, it is necessary for liquid phases
* such as DebyeHuckel and HMWSoln for the proper specification of the chemical
* potentials.
*
* This equation, when applied to the @f$ \zeta_k @f$ equation described
* above, results in a zero net change in the effective Gibbs free energy of
* the phase. However, specific charged species in the phase may increase or
* decrease their electrochemical potentials, which will have an effect on
* interfacial reactions involving charged species, when there is a potential
* drop between phases. This effect is used within the InterfaceKinetics and
* EdgeKinetics kinetics objects classes.
*
* ### Electrothermochemical Properties of Phases of Matter
*
* The following classes are used to compute the electrical and
* electrothermochemical properties of phases of matter. The main property
* currently is the dielectric constant, which is an important parameter for
* electrolyte solutions. The class WaterProps calculate the dielectric
* constant of water as a function of temperature and pressure.
*
* WaterProps also calculate the constant A_debye used in the Debye Huckel and
* Pitzer activity coefficient calculations.
