Heat transferred - Work done = Internal Energy
Explanation:
- If there is more heat transfer than the work done, the energy difference is called internal energy
- The first law of thermodynamics equation is given as ΔU=Q−W where, ΔU = Internal energy; Q = Heat transfer; W = Work done
- Heat = transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures
- Work = force used to transfer energy between a system and its surroundings
- The First Law of Thermodynamics states - energy can be converted from one form to another with the interaction of heat, work and internal energy
- Energy cannot be created nor destroyed
Answer:

Explanation:
Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges(
) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.
Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:
