11.Thermodynamics
easy
If $Q , E$ and $W$ denote respectively the heat added, change in internal energy and the work done by a closed cycle process, then
A
$W = 0$
B
$ Q = 0$
C
$E= 0$
D
$Q=W=0$
(AIPMT-2008)
Solution
Internal energy depends only on the initial and final states of temperature and not on the path. In a cyclic process, as initial and final states are the same, change in internal energy is zero. Hence $E$ is $\Delta U$, the change in internal energy.
