These concepts are still just not sitting comfortably, yet. Are there any books someone could recommend reading that would elucidate this better? I don't care if they're textbooks or any other kind.

Khashishi, I guess what's confusing me is that Temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of a particle in a system. This seems to necessitate the ability to do work. If an increase in Temperature elicits an increase in Internal Energy, some would be manifest as an increase in...

Khashishi, I couldn't figure out how to articulate it until now, but this was my reasoning. I was playing around with some of the circuit equations and saw that PE=V/q, where PE is potential energy, V is voltage, and q is charge. This gave me the impression that Voltage could also be thought of...

Can someone conceptually explain to me how Temperature and Entropy are conjugate variables? I would imagine that Temperature and Internal Energy would be more appropriate, as I understand Heat flow causes changes in Internal Energy, some of which is used to change the translational motion of...

Would it be correct to call Voltage and Temperature intensive measures of Energy, and call Electric Field and Pressure intensive measures of the potential for Force generation? If so, is Voltage (Potential Energy) used to generate a force on a charged particle (by way of an Electrical...
