26. Note that these two examples (magnetic and electric collective transport) are dual to each other. Thus, the equations for kinetic friction for moving vortices or CDWs are the same after replacing the current density j by the electric field E and the resistivity ρ by the conductivity. The mapping becomes: [driving force ↔ j ↔ E], and [viscous dissipation ↔ ρ ↔ σ] for [mechanical ↔ magnetic ↔ electric] driven transport. Therefore, V-I curves for superconductors map into I-V curves for CDW transport.
