In this video of Understanding Thermodynamics I introduce the first law of Thermodynamics in a closed system. I go through an example of how to use the first law of Thermodynamics in a closed system such as a piston cylinder arrangement. I also discuss why we can ignore kinetic and potential energy when considering closed system problems.
