JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 11. thermodynamics

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Statement I: Change in internal energy of a system containing \(n\) mole of ideal gas can be written as \(\Delta U = n C_v (T_f - T_i) = \dfrac{nR}{\gamma - 1}(T_f - T_i)\), where \(\gamma = \dfrac{C_p}{C_v}\), \(T_i =\) initial temperature, \(T_f =\) final temperature.
Statement II: Relation between degree of freedom \(f\) and \(\gamma (= C_p/C_v)\) is \(\left(\gamma = 1 + \dfrac{2}{f}\right)\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below

  1. A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. B Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
  3. C A is true but R is false
  4. D A is false but R is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement I is true because for an ideal gas, the change in internal energy is given by \(\Delta U = n C_v \Delta T\). Using Mayer's relation \(C_p - C_v = R\) and the ratio of specific heats \(\gamma = \dfrac{C_p}{C_v}\), we can write \(C_v = \dfrac{R}{\gamma - 1}\).…
