Based on the first law of thermodynamics, which one of the following is correct?

  1. A For an isothermal process, \(Q=+W\)
  2. B For an isochoric process, \(\Delta U=-Q\)
  3. C For an adiabatic process, \(\Delta U=-W\)
  4. D For a cyclic process, \(Q=-W\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) For a cyclic process, \(Q=-W\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to first law of thermodynamics,
\[
\Delta U=Q+W
\]
For cyclic process, change in internal energy
\[
\begin{aligned}
&=0 \\
Q &=-W
\end{aligned}
\]
\[
\therefore \quad Q=-W
\]
