To understand the relationship between work and heat we need to understand the factor of linking factors.
Change in internal energy formula physics.
Internal energy refers to all the energy within a given system including the kinetic energy of molecules and the energy stored in all of the chemical bonds between molecules.
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is a measure of the energy within it excluding the kinetic energy of motion of the system as a whole and the potential energy of the system as a whole due to external force fields.
Getting more intuition of internal energy heat and work.
This is the change in internal energy.
Now we could have done that a little bit more formally with the formula change in internal energy is equal to heat added to the system plus work done on the system.
We cannot create nor destroy energy but we can convert or transfer it.
The more usual formula is given for an ideal gas.
Science physics library.
So the internal energy of an ideal gas system is generally the translational kinetic energy of its molecules.
Internal energy formula concept of internal energy.

Examples of using the first law to calculate work.
So it s equal to heat added to the system.
Watch the next lesson.
Voiceover in this video we re gonna do an example problem where we calculate in internal energy and also calculate pressure volume work.
The internal energy is the total of all the energies associated with the motion of the molecules in a system.
Internal energy is the sum of all forms of molecular energies kinetic and potential of a substance.
We had 5 joules heat taken away so this is minus 5 plus work done on the system.
So we know the external pressure is 1 01 times ten to the 5th pascal and our system is some balloon let s say it s a balloon of argon gas and initially our gas has a volume of 2 3 liters and then it transfers the gas transfers 485 joules of energy.
Microscopic forms of energy include those due to the rotation vibration translation and interactions among the molecules of a substance.
Internal energy is the total energy of a closed system of molecules or the sum of the molecular kinetic energy and potential energy in a substance.
With the interactions of heat work and internal energy there are energy transfers and conversions every time a change is made upon a system.
The internal energy is measured as a difference from a.
It keeps account of the gains and losses of energy of the system that are due to changes in its internal state.
