    The internal energy of an ideal gas increases during an isothermal process when the gas Is

    A) expanded by adding more molecules to It

    B) expanded by adding more heat to it

    C) expanded against zero pressure

    D) compressed by doing work on it

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: An isothermal process is one, in which the pressure and volume of the system change but temperature remains constant. Internal energy of an ideal gas is given by \[U=\frac{f}{2}\mu RT\] \[=\frac{f}{2}\left( \frac{N}{{{N}_{A}}} \right)RT\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[U\propto NT.\] In isothermal process, T = constant \[\Rightarrow \] \[U\propto N\]ie, internal energy increases by increasing number of molecules (N).
