    Study Notes

    System Definition

    • A system is a defined portion of the universe, isolated for observation and measurement of changes.
    • Isolation allows for focused analysis without interference from external factors.

    Types of Systems

    • The simplest type of system is an isolated system.
    • An isolated system has boundaries that prevent any exchange of matter or energy with its surroundings.
    • This complete isolation facilitates controlled experiments and accurate observations of internal changes.
