Complete Question:

In the same configuration of the previous problem 3, four long straight wires are perpendicular to the page, and their cross sections form a square of edge length a = 13.5 cm. Each wire carries 7.50 A, and the currents are out of the page in wires 1 and 4 and into the page in wires 2 and 3.

a) Draw a diagram in a (x,y) plane of the four wires with wire 4 perpendicular to the origin. Indicate the current's directions.

b) Draw a diagram of all magnetic fields produced at the position of wire 3 by the other three currents.

When a fixed amount of ideal gas goes through an isobaric expansion A) its internal (thermal) energy does not change.B) the gas

Bingel [31]

<h2>Answer: its temperature must increase.</h2>

Explanation:

In an isobaric process the pressure remains constant, which means the initial pressure and the final pressure will be the same.

In addition, during this thermodynamic process, the volume of the ideal gas expands or contracts in such a way that the variation of pressure $\Delta P$ is neutralized.

Now, according to the First law of Thermodynamics that establishes the conservation of energy:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta U$ is the internal energy

$\Delta Q$ is the heat transferred

$\Delta W$ is the work

Now, for an isobaric process:

$\Delta W=P\Delta V$ (2)

Where:

$P$ is the pressure (always positive)

$\Delta V$ is the volume variation of the gas

Here we have two possible results:

-If the gas expands (positive $\Delta V$ ), the work is positive.

-If the gas compresses (negative $\Delta V$ ), the work is negative.

In this case we are talking about the first result (work is positive).

Then, according to the above, equation (1) can be written as follows:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q - P\Delta V$ (3)

Clearing $\Delta Q$ :

$\Delta Q=\Delta U+P \Delta V$ (4)

Then, for an ideal gas in an isobaric process, part of the heat ( $Q$ ) added to the system will be used to do work (positive in this case) and the other part will increase the internal energy, hence the temperature will increase as well.
