The \(p-V\) diagram of a system undergoing thermodynamic changes is as shown in the figure. The work done by the system in going from \(A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C\) is \(30 \mathrm{~J}\). If \(68 \mathrm{~J}\) of heat is given to the system, then the change in the internal energy of the system between \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{C}\) is

  1. A \(34 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(55 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(55 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(55 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(55 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that heat absorbed \(=\Delta Q=68 \mathrm{~J}\),
Work done by the system \(=\Delta W=30 \mathrm{~J}\)
From the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy is given by,
\(\begin{aligned} & \Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W \\ & \Rightarrow \Delta U=68-30=38 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}\)
