beautifully explained
Great explanation Sir
5:49 Contrary to what he says, the equally distributed state is more likely with 2 than with 4 particles: 1/2 versus 3/8. Equally distributed states get less likely as the number of particles increases.
wait this video is literalyl goated thank you
Great explanation,
Thanks, it's really clear. Still I don't understand the concept of macrostates: in all of these examples, aren't we talking about the same macrostate?I mean the box always has the same temperature, pressure and volume, no matter how the particles are distributed, right?
Thanks 🙏
Awesome
Thank you!
During a large shock waveyou have a lot of upset molecules on 1 side of the box
If the particles are indistinguishable how we can more than 1 configuration for each microstate?
I have trouble understanding some things regarding entropy being described with probability. In the two particle example, you have two possibilities where you have 1 particle on the left and 1 particle on the right. The two separate instances of this are described as equal. So why are they counted as two separate possibilities and not one single possibility? Where you would then have a total of just 3 possibilities of equal probability. I'd be a fool to say its incorrect, I just don't understand it Edit: Additionally, why are the two possibilities where the particles are on the same side as each other not considered to be the same configuration? Leaving you with only 2 actual possibilities. The structure of the two particles is either 1. They are at the same side, or 2. They are on opposite sides.
