- For Ideal Gas: $U=C_VT$ + Constant
- Extensive: depends on the path, $\delta Q, \delta W$.
- State function: depends on the initial and final states, $d U$.
- $\left(P_i V_i, T_i\right)\longrightarrow (P_f V_f, T_f)$
- $T_i\longrightarrow T_f$
- $\Delta U= C_V(T_f-T_i)$
- Recall the notion of potential in mechanics for a conservative field.
