A small container of gas undergoes a thermodynamic cycle. The gas begins at room temperature. First the gas expands isobarically until its volume doubles. Then the gas expands adiabatically. Then the gas is cooled isobarically and finally the gas is compressed adiabatically until it returns to its original state. (a) Draw a
Consider an ideal 2-state paramagnet. The entropy is given by: S = k [N ln N - Nu ln Nu - Nd ln Nd], where Nu and Nd are related to total number N, internal energy U, magnetic field B and magnetic moment μ by Nu = (N - U/μB)/2, Nd = (N + U/μB)/2 (a) Use the relation T-1 = (∂S/∂U)N,B

An ideal gas at pressure, volume, and temperature Po, Vo, and To, respectively, is heated to point A, allowed to expand to point B at 2To, and then returned to the original condition. The internal energy increases by 3PoVo/2 going from point To to point A. How much heat entered the gas from point To to point A?
An aluminium cylinder rotates as it falls through a uniform magnetic field. Let it be falling in the y direction and the field direction be z. When its axis of rotation is perpendicular to the field direction (along the x axis), it slows down. When it is parallel to the field direction there is no braking. Why?
