A) \[\Delta U=-W\] in an adiabatic process
B) \[\Delta U=W\] in an isothermal process
C) \[\Delta U=-W\] in an isothermal process
D) \[\Delta U=W\] in an adiabatic process
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
An isothermal process is a constant temperature process. In this process, \[T=\]constant or\[AT=0\]. \[\therefore \] \[\Delta U=n{{C}_{V}}\Delta T=0\] An adiabatic process is defined as one with no heat transfer into or out of a system. Therefore, \[Q=0\] From first law of thermodynamics \[W=-\Delta U\] or \[\Delta U=-W\]You need to login to perform this action.
