Therefore

On the other hand, we know from (a)

Tl T

W = -(T2 - Ti) = -dT.

Thus

or

Finally we have

( %)q = [” dT. ’1, C(T) = 9& (&)

or

where Q(T,q) is the heat that the capacitor absorbs when it is charged

from 0 to q while in contact with a heat source of constant temperature T.

For each of the following thermodynamic conditions, describe a system,

or class of systems (the components or range of components, temperatures,

etc.), which satisfies the condition. Confine yourself to classical, single
