    Study Notes

    Thermodynamics

    Laws of Thermodynamics

    • Zeroth Law: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other.
    • First Law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
    • Second Law: The total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time, except in reversible processes.
    • Third Law: As the temperature of a system approaches absolute zero, the entropy of the system approaches a minimum value.

    Thermodynamic Systems

    • Closed System: A system that does not exchange matter with its surroundings, but can exchange energy.
    • Open System: A system that exchanges both matter and energy with its surroundings.
    • Isolated System: A system that does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings.

    Thermodynamic Properties

    • Internal Energy (U): The total energy of a system, including kinetic energy, potential energy, and potential energy associated with the interactions between particles.
    • Enthalpy (H): A measure of the total energy of a system, including internal energy and the energy associated with the pressure and volume of a system.
    • Entropy (S): A measure of the disorder or randomness of a system.

    Electromagnetism

    Electric Charges and Fields

    • Positive and Negative Charges: Like charges repel, opposite charges attract.
    • Electric Field (E): A vector field that surrounds charged particles, with units of N/C.
    • Electric Field Lines: Imaginary lines that emerge from positive charges and enter negative charges.

    Electric Potential

    • Electric Potential (V): The potential energy per unit charge, with units of J/C.
    • Electric Potential Difference (ΔV): The difference in electric potential between two points, also known as voltage.

    Magnetism

    • Magnetic Fields (B): A vector field that surrounds currents and magnetic dipoles, with units of T.
    • Magnetic Field Lines: Imaginary lines that emerge from the north pole and enter the south pole of a magnet.

    Electromagnetic Induction

    • Faraday's Law of Induction: A changing magnetic flux through a loop of wire induces an electric field.
    • Lenz's Law: The direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in the magnetic flux.

    Electromagnetic Waves

    • Electromagnetic Spectrum: A range of frequencies, including gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
    • Electromagnetic Wave Propagation: Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, with electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and the direction of propagation.

    Thermodynamics

    Laws of Thermodynamics

    • If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other, according to the Zeroth Law.
    • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another, as stated by the First Law.
    • The total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time, except in reversible processes, as described by the Second Law.
    • As the temperature of a system approaches absolute zero, the entropy of the system approaches a minimum value, according to the Third Law.

    Thermodynamic Systems
