In a thermodynamic process if ' \(\Delta \mathrm{W}\) ' and ' \(\Delta \mathrm{U}\) ' are the work done and change in the internal energy of a system respectively, then

  1. A \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=\Delta \mathrm{W}\) in adiabatic process
  2. B \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=\Delta \mathrm{W}\) in isothermal process
  3. C \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=-\Delta \mathrm{W}\) in isothermal process
  4. D \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=-\Delta \mathrm{W}\) in adiabatic process
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=-\Delta \mathrm{W}\) in adiabatic process

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using Ist law of thermodynamics \(\Delta \mathrm{Q}=\Delta \mathrm{U}+\Delta \mathrm{W}\) for adiabatic process, \(\Delta Q=0\) \(\therefore \Delta \mathrm{U}=-\Delta \mathrm{W}\)
