Do you understand entropy? Why the concept of entropy is difficult to engineering students?
1 answer:
Answer:
Entropy:
Entropy is the measure of randomness of system.In other words the entropy is the measurement of tendency of system towards the disorder.
The concept of entropy arise from second law of thermodynamics.It is given as follows
Entropy is a extensive property of system .
Entropy of universe = Entropy of system + Entropy of surrounding.
The entropy of the system can be zero,positive and negative.But entropy of the surrounding can not be negative,but it can be zero or positive.
Actually the concept of entropy is difficult to understand because we can not visualize because it is not like beam and like rods.Only we have to realize that there is entropy.

Answer:
a.) I = 7.8 × 10^-4 A
b.) V(20) = 9.3 × 10^-43 V
Explanation:
Given that the
R1 = 20 kΩ,
R2 = 12 kΩ,
C = 10 µ F, and
ε = 25 V.
R1 and R2 are in series with each other.
Let us first find the equivalent resistance R
R = R1 + R2
R = 20 + 12 = 32 kΩ
At t = 0, V = 25v
From ohms law, V = IR
Make current I the subject of formula
I = V/R
I = 25/32 × 10^3
I = 7.8 × 10^-4 A
b.) The voltage across R1 after a long time can be achieved by using the formula
V(t) = Voe^- (t/RC)
V(t) = 25e^- t/20000 × 10×10^-6
V(t) = 25e^- t/0.2
After a very long time. Let assume t = 20s. Then
V(20) = 25e^- 20/0.2
V(20) = 25e^-100
V(20) = 25 × 3.72 × 10^-44
V(20) = 9.3 × 10^-43 V
