An ideal switch would have no voltage drop when closed, and would have no limits on voltage or current rating.

An ideal switch is either open or closed and so dissipates no power ; it withstands an applied voltage and passes no current, or passes any amount of current with no voltage drop.

In the ideal case, the closing of the switch closest to the charging power supply applies a voltage 2V to the second switch.

This switch will then close, resulting in a cascade down the generator that produces nV at the generator output ( again, only in the ideal case ).

This is because an ideal switch in its on state will conduct all current but has no voltage across it, hence no heat is dissipated.

Similar examples could be created for any of the ' ideal ' circuit elements listed above, and many more, from RF frequency mixers to the simplest switch.

It is appropriate to call attention to certain thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas that are analogous to rubber-like deformation.

The internal energy of an ideal gas depends on temperature only and is independent of pressure or volume.

In other words, if an ideal gas is compressed and kept at constant temperature, the work done in compressing it is completely converted into heat and transferred to the surrounding heat sink.

Using the ideal gas law and assuming a constant molar quantity ( as often happens in practical cases ),

This is often not an ideal solution for GIF images, both because the loss of spatial resolution typically makes an image look fuzzy on the screen, and because the dithering patterns often interfere with the compressibility of the image data, working against GIF's main purpose.
