Construct a closed PV-cycle for a gas of N= 12^22 particles, so that the final point is equal to the initial point. For each step and assuming that this is an ideal gas (so PV=NkT) and also that there is no loss of heat due to inefficiency, a) calculate/estimate the total work done BY the system (not ON the system) for each step (if your step isn't 'straight', you'll have to approximate the area under the curve), b) for each step, use the ideal gas law to estimate the temperatures at the endpoints of each step, and therefore the change in internal energy U, c) combining b) with a), estimate the heat added or withdrawn from the system for each step.

There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 41.0 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F1 = 0.0600 N. Then, a thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed the spheres still repel but with a force of F2 = 0.115 N. Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, q1 and q2 if initially q1<q2.
