If $\Delta Q$ and $\Delta W$ represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively, then the first law of thermodynamics can be written as

where $\Delta U$ is the internal energy

  • A

    $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$

  • B

    $\Delta Q = \Delta U - \Delta W$

  • C

    $\Delta Q = \Delta W - \Delta U$

  • D

    $\Delta Q = - \Delta W - \Delta U$
