In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamics of the charged NUT black hole with the Misner strings present in the Einstein-Maxwell gravity.
- We show that the Misner charge $N$ can be obtained by performing Komar integration over the Misner strings in the presence of electric and magnetic charges and the corresponding Smarr relation and first law can also be naturally established based on this geometric perspective.
- Besides, we demonstrate that the electric and magnetic charges appearing in the first law and Smarr relation are contingent on the special choice of gauge freedom for the electric and magnetic potentials.
- We re-derive two different versions of thermodynamics according to distinct choices of gauge and furthermore, we try to formulate more general thermodynamic laws under other arbitrary choices of gauge and deduce the conditions necessary to satisfy the Smarr relations and first laws simultaneously.
