This lecture covers the concept of thermodynamic potentials, including Helmholtz free energy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy. It explains the equilibrium of coupled subsystems with reservoirs, heat and work in coupled systems, and applications. The instructor discusses the approach to equilibrium, energy minimization, and the significance of different potentials.
