With respect to the first law of thermodynamics, the total energy gained or lost by a volume element of a collisionless, two-fluid plasma is subdivided. One part is the energy change deriving from the work done by Lorentz force acting on the volume element, the other is the energy change caused by the presence of a nonzero 'rest' field E prime. Conditions are disclosed under which the nonadiabatic change of energy occurs, and it is shown that Z can be split into two parts, associated with the presence of E prime(parallel) and E prime(perpendicular), respectively. From estimates of numerical values of physical parameters describing the plasma sheet, it is suggested that the nonadiabatic energy change which is due to E prime(perpendicular) contributes, under certain conditions, significantly to the energization of the plasma sheet plasma.
