Description
    Evolves an electrical potential equation
 
    \f[
        \grad \left( \sigma \grad V \right)
    \f]
 
    where \f$ V \f$ is electrical potential and \f$\sigma\f$ is the
    electrical current
 
    To provide a Joule heating contribution according to:
 
    Differential form of Joule heating - power per unit volume:
 
    \f[
        \frac{d(P)}{d(V)} = J \cdot E
    \f]
 
    where \f$ J \f$ is the current density and \f$ E \f$ the electric field.
    If no magnetic field is present:
 
    \f[
        J = \sigma E
    \f]
 
    The electric field given by
 
    \f[
        E = \grad V
    \f]
 
    Therefore:
 
    \f[
        \frac{d(P)}{d(V)} = J \cdot E
                          = (sigma E) \cdot E
                          = (sigma \grad V) \cdot \grad V
    \f]
 
 
Usage
    Isotropic (scalar) electrical conductivity
    \verbatim
    jouleHeatingSourceCoeffs
    {
        anisotropicElectricalConductivity no;
 
        // Optionally specify the conductivity as a function of temperature
        // Note: if not supplied, this will be read from the time directory
        sigma           table
        (
            (273        1e5)
            (1000       1e5)
        );
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    Anisotropic (vectorial) electrical conductivity
    jouleHeatingSourceCoeffs
    {
        anisotropicElectricalConductivity yes;
 
        coordinateSystem
        {
            origin  (0 0 0);
            e1      (1 0 0);
            e3      (0 0 1);
        }
 
        // Optionally specify sigma as a function of temperature
        //sigma           (31900 63800 127600);
        //
        //sigma           table
        //(
        //    (0      (0 0 0))
        //    (1000   (127600 127600 127600))
        //);
    }
 
 
    Where:
    \table
        Property     | Description               | Required  | Default value
        T            | Name of temperature field | no        | T
        sigma        | Electrical conductivity as a function of temperature |no|
        anisotropicElectricalConductivity | Anisotropic flag | yes |
    \endtable
 
    The electrical conductivity can be specified using either:
    - If the \c sigma entry is present the electrical conductivity is specified
      as a function of temperature using a Function1 type
    - If not present the sigma field will be read from file
    - If the anisotropicElectricalConductivity flag is set to 'true', sigma
      should be specified as a vector quantity
