does my question sound incomplete ? Let me share some pages from the book to make it easy for others.

Hi, I have been studying thermodynamics from Herbert Callen's "Thermodynamics : an introduction to the physical theories of equilibrium thermostatics and irreversible thermodynamics" In Chapter 4, Section 4.4, he writes : " all processes occurring between a given initial and a given final state...

I didn't understand. Can you elaborate more ?

I had the same question when I first encountered Euler Rigid body equations. What the author means by "L in rotating frame" is the components of L along the rotating axes at that instant.

Thanks. "Lossless" word stuck with me and I guess I never cared so deeply about these questions until now. Maxwell equations has certainly enlightened me. I almost see the whole picture now. Thanks again :)

One more question : then how can an lossless LC circuit exist ? It should lose energy by means of radiation since current in the circuit is definitely greater than zero(hence quasistatic approximation certainly doesnot hold)

Yes. Thanks. I think I get it now. Also, is my assumption about super-slow process true(will W= 1/2LI^2 in that limiting case where T approaches infinity)

Thanks :) will do it for sure

As we know, work done by an outside agency in creating some current ''I" in an inductor 'L' is 1/2LI2. Now this result is derived by quasistatic approximation if I am not wrong. Now, I am assuming that in non quasistatic (real) scenarios, the work done by outside agency would be different(If you...

Hi, I am Mayank, a CS undergrad, working as a software developer. My mature academic career started with an intense desire to learn (understand deeply) Maths/Physics. So, I took PCM(Physics/Chemistry/Maths) in higher-secondary curriculum. But I chose Computer Science in university because ... i...
