===Scalar Virial Theorem=== ====Standard Presentation [the Virial of Clausius (1870)]==== The trace of the tensor virial equation (TVE), which is obtained by identifying the trace of each term in the TVE, produces the scalar virial equation, which is widely referenced and used by the astrophysics community.

Text that appears in an orange font in the following paragraph has been drawn ''verbatim'' from this reference. [<b>[[Appendix/References#Shu92|<font color="red">Shu92</font>]]</b>] begins by adding a term to the Euler equation that accounts for <font color="orange">the Maxwell stress tensor, <math>T_{ik}</math>, associated with the ambient magnetic field</font>, <math>~\vec{B}</math>, where, <div align="center"> <math> T_{ik} = \frac{B_i B_k}{4\pi} - \frac{|\vec{B}|^2}{8\pi} \delta_{ik} \, . </math> <br /> <br /> [<b>[[Appendix/References#Shu92|<font color="red">Shu92</font>]]</b>], Vol. II, p. 329, Eq.

[Here] we shall be more interested in the trace of the tensor equation, which we may derive by simply multiplying [the modified Euler equation] by <math>~x_i</math> (with an implicit summation over repeated indices) and integrating over <math>V</math></font>.
