Second law of thermodynamics
learning goal:
to understand the implications of the second law of thermodynamics.
the second law of thermodynamics explains the direction in which the thermodynamic processes tend to go. that is, it limits the types of final states of the system that naturally evolve from a given initial state. the second law has many practical applications. for example it explains the limits of efficiency for heat engines and refrigerators. to develop a better understanding of this law, try these conceptual questions.
part a
the thermodynamic processes that occur in nature
the thermodynamic processes that occur in nature
a. convert thermal energy into mechanical energy
b. lead to a more ordered state
c. cannot be reversed
d. do not conserve energy

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
