State the first law of thermodynamic?

-Added by Shruti Srivastva Physics » Thermodynamics

Answer:

Anjali Kumari

he first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic processes, distinguishing two kinds of transfer of energy, as heat and as thermodynamic work, and relating them to a function of a body's state, called Internal energy.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

For a thermodynamic process without transfer of matter, the first law is often formulated^[1]^{[nb 1]}

-Added by Shruti Srivastva Physics » Mechanical Properties Of Fluids

Answer:

Shruti Srivastva
The sea water has many salts dissolved into it. So, the density of sea water is greater than that of river water. Consequently, the sea water exerts greater upthrust on the swimmer than the river water.

What is induced magnetism?

-Added by Shruti Srivastva Physics » Magnetism

Answer:

Shruti Srivastva
When a piece of magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field, the material gets magnetised, The magnetism so produeced in the material is called induced magnetism.
