State of the system

The video tutorial explains the concept of state variables and state functions in thermodynamics, focusing on how they describe the state of a system. It delves into internal energy, work, and heat transfer, illustrating how these factors affect a system's state. The tutorial also covers the first law of thermodynamics, emphasizing the conservation of energy and its implications for isolated systems.

How does heat transfer affect the internal energy of a system?

What does it mean for a state function to be independent of the path taken?

What is the first law of thermodynamics and how does it relate to internal energy?
