    Work done for isothermal process in terms of Helmholtz func

    The Helmholtz function differential form for a reversible process is: dF = -SdT - PdV, as for a reversible process δW (by system/here an (ideal) gas) = PdV and dS = δQ/T. Therefore, for a reversible isothermal process, dT = 0 and hence dF = -PdV. Therefore, the work done by the system is W =...

    Faraday's Law--Confusion about terms in the integrals

    Hi. The induced emf is given by -d/dt ∫B.dS but when the time derivative is taken inside the integral sign this becomes -∫ ∂B /∂t.dS . Why isn't B.dS differentiated using the product rule giving an extra term inside the integral sign ? For some reason the integral sign is appearing as a small...
