What are State Functions?
State function is a property that only depends on the current state and not on the path taken to reach that state.
In other words, it doesn’t matter how you got there, just where you are. It provides valuable information about the state without requiring knowledge of the previous changes that led to the current state.
State Functions
State Functions are the functions that are independent of the path of the function i.e. they are concerned about the final state and not how the state is achieved. State Functions are most used in thermodynamics. In this article, we will learn the definition of state function, what are the state functions in Thermodynamics, and how they differ from path function.
