    Isothermic compression question. Need help

    Ok thanks for the info guys, I had a go at the question and this is what I came up with. What do you think? Q=W=nRT∫_(V_2)^(V_1)▒PdV but nRT=PV Q=PV∫_(V_2)^(V_1)▒PdV During isothermal compression P_1 V_1=P_2 V_2⇒PV is a constant In this case PV=0.253...

    Isothermic compression question. Need help

    Homework Statement The question I am stuck on is "0.253 m of gas is compressed isothermally from a pressure of 1 bar until its volume is 0.0313 m. Calculate the heat energy transfer. " Homework Equations I understand that work done = Heat transfer because it is isothermal but the equation...

    How does an electrical damper work.

    Now I remember. RLC circuits are something I looked into once but didn't investigate their damping effect. Thanks everyone.:-)

    How does an electrical damper work.

    I Am asking about an electrical damper as UR_Correct has assumed.

    How does an electrical damper work.

    I am trying to find out how an electrical damper works. I know that it slowly reduces the amplitude of a current or voltage but don't know how, or even what any circuit would look like. I am not an electrician but know basics like capacitence, impedence etc so if you can help and can explain in...
