Incoming links: Intensive and extensive thermodynamic quantities
Past exam of the mathematics course of the University of Cambridge 2024 ii Paper 2 37B a Solution Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-25
An intensive quantity is unchanged when the size of a homogeneous system is scaled; temperature and pressure are examples. An extensive quantity scales in proportion to system size; volume and particle number are examples. Energy and entropy are also extensive, while chemical potential is intensive. These are intensive and extensive thermodynamic quantities.
