A system goes from $P$ to $Q$ by two different paths in the $P - V$ diagram as shown in figure. Heat given to the system in path $1$ is  $1000\,J$ . The work done by the system along path $1$ is more than path $2$ by  $100\,J$ . What is the heat exchanged by the system in path $2$ ?

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

For path $1:$ Heat given $Q_{1}=+1000 \mathrm{~J}$ Work done $=W_{1}$

For path $2:$ Work done $W_{2}=W_{1}-100 \mathrm{~J}$

Heat given $Q_{2}=?$

As change in internal energy between two states for different path is same.

$\therefore \Delta U=Q_{1}-W_{1}=Q_{2}-W_{2}$

$\therefore 1000-W_{1}=Q_{2}-\left(W_{1}-100\right)$

$\therefore Q_{2}=1000-W_{1}+W_{1}-100$

$\therefore Q_{2}=900 \mathrm{~J}$
