Question 1

State what is meant by the internal energy of an ideal gas.

Answer 1

It is the sum of the random distribution of kinetic energies associated with the molecules of the ideal gas.

Question 2

Why is potential across a conductor constant?

Answer 2

At steady state, the potential across the conductor is constant because the charges are in equilibrium. If there is potential difference within the conductor, the charges will still be rearranging themselves.

Question 3

State what is meant by a field of force

Answer 3

A field of force is a region of space where a body, with a property specific to the field, experiences a non contact force
