    If 150 J of heat is added to a system work done by the system is 110 J, the in internal energy will be

    A)  40 J                                       

    B)  110 J    

    C)         150 J                    

    D)         260 J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Conservation of energy is valid here. From the first law of thermodynamics if an amount of heat Q is given to a system a part of it is used in increasing the internal energy \[(\Delta U)\] of the system and the rest in doing work (W) by the system. \[\therefore \]  \[Q=\Delta U+W\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\Delta U=Q-W\] \[\Delta U=150-110=40\,J\] Note: First law of thermodynamics is a form of the law of conservation of energy.
