Okay so after reading various books on sign conventions for work
I am told by my teachers that in chemistry,work done on the system is positive while work done by the system is negative while in physics it's the exact opposite
I only use the former convention
And modify the first law of thermodynamics so that i can work with physics problems using this convention
But what i want to know is
Which one is correct?
The former or the latter?
As,usual
Some insight is much appreiciated!:)
