The first thermodynamic law for a system of charged molecule
The first thermodynamic law for a system of charged molecules in electric field reads dU = TdS - pdV + mu dn + psi dq where q is the charge of the molecules. Hence U = U(S, V, n, q). Find an alternative thermodynamic function F that has natural variables T, V, n, and psi, F = F(T, V, n, psi).
Solution
Helmholtz function can be defined as
F = U-TS
OR
dF = dU-TdS-SdT
= TdS-pdV+dn+dq-TdS-SdT
