Thermodynamic Potentials¶
A thermodynamic potential is a scalar quantity that represents the thermodynamic state of a system. Even though the exact meaning depends on the given thermodynamic potential, they are all interconnected via Legendre transformations. Internal energy is an example of a thermodynamic potential.
