Abstract

It is shown that the energy density formulas of Newtonian gravity by Maxwell, Bondi and Ohanian cannot be distinguished by boundary conditions, and also the corresponding energy balances are identical. However, they are not equivalent. From a thermodynamic point of view, the Ohanian energy density is distinguished.
