This physics video tutorial explains the concept of the first law of thermodynamics. It shows you how to solve problems associated with PV diagrams, internal energy, heat, and work. It addition, it provides plenty of examples and practice problems associated with isothermal, isochoric or isovolumetric, isobaric, and adiabatic processes.
