Asystem absorbs 12 j of heat from the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 j of work is done by the system. what is the change of the internal energy δeth of the system? '

The change in the internal energy of the system after absorbing the energy is   .

Further Explanation:

Given:

The energy absorbed by the system from the surroundings is .

The work done by the surroundings on the system is .

Concept:

Since there is some amount of the work done on the system and the system also absorbs some amount of energy from the surroundings, the change in internal energy of the system is given by the First Law of Thermodynamics.

The First Law of Thermodynamics state that the total energy of an isolated system is always conserved. It means that the change in the internal energy of the system is equal to the sum of the amount of energy absorbed by the system and the amount of work done by the surroundings on the system.

Here,  is the change in internal energy of the system,  is the energy absorbed by the system and  is the work done on the system.

Substitute the value of the energy absorbed and the work done in above expression.

Thus, the change in the internal energy of the system is .

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
