11.Thermodynamics
easy
If an ideal gas is compressed isothermally. Which of the following statements is true?
A
Energy is transferred into the gas by heat.
B
Work is done by the gas
C
Pressure of the gas decreases
D
The internal energy of the gas remains constant
(KVPY-2021)
Solution
(D)
$Q =\Delta U + W$
For isothermal process $\Delta U =0$
$\therefore$ Internal energy remains constant
$Q = W$
Positive work done by external agent is completely lost in the form of heat.
As volume gets reduced, pressure increases
$( PV =$ constant $)$
