Hello,I would like some help for a problem
Initially:At t=0 [/B]the cylindrical capacitor of capacitance [itex]c=\frac{\epsilon s}{d}[/itex] (d the distance between the 2 electrodes and s their surface; [itex]\epsilon = \epsilon(T)[/itex] is the dielectric permittivity) is discharged and we close the circuit and charge isothermally the cylindrical capacitor until it has a [itex]c*v[/itex] charge.
The current is [itex]i=\frac{dq}{dt}[/itex] and the voltage is v(t), the electric charge of the capacitor is [itex]q(t)=c*v(t)[/itex].
We have an RC circuit receiving work [itex]W[/itex] from a generator of voltage [itex]v[/itex] and energy [itex]Q_{exchanged}[/itex] from a thermal reservoir (thermostat) of [itex]T_0[/itex] Kelvin,the circuit has its entropy change[itex]\Delta S_{in}[/itex] during the charging.
We have [itex]C_q[/itex] the heat capacity for a constant charge q and [itex] \lambda= \frac{qT \epsilon'}{\epsilon c}[/itex] another coefficient in the equation :
[itex]TdS_{in}= C_q dT + \lambda dq[/itex] (1)
What is the entropy of the universe [itex]\Delta S_{univ}[/itex] equal to ?
Does [itex]C_q[/itex] depend on [itex]q[/itex] ?
[itex]\Delta S_{thermostat}=\frac{Q_{exchanged}}{T_0}[/itex]
If we integrate [itex] C_q[/itex] over T ,I think q does appear in the formula for [itex]C_q[/itex] but it's not a variable I think.To find [itex]\Delta S_{in}[/itex] we divide the equation (1) by T then integrate [itex] \frac{\lambda}{T}[/itex] over q from 0 to q=cv.
[itex]\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{thermostat}+\Delta S_{in}[/itex]
I would like to know how to express [itex]\Delta S_{thermostat}[/itex] and it's sign. Thank you.

Homework Equations
[itex]\Delta S_{thermostat}=\frac{Q_{exchanged}}{T_0}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
If we integrate [itex] C_q[/itex] over T ,I think q does appear in the formula for [itex]C_q[/itex] but it's not a variable I think.To find [itex]\Delta S_{in}[/itex] we divide the equation (1) by T then integrate [itex] \frac{\lambda}{T}[/itex] over q from 0 to q=cv.
[itex]\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{thermostat}+\Delta S_{in}[/itex]
