MCQ
A given system undergoes a change in which the work done by the system equals the decrease in its internal energy. The system must have undergone an
- AIsothermal change
- ✓Adiabatic change
- CIsobaric change
- DIsochoric change
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Adiabatic change
b
(b)In adiabatic change $Q =$ constant ==> $\Delta Q = 0$
So $\Delta W = - \Delta U \, ( \, \Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W)$
(b)In adiabatic change $Q =$ constant ==> $\Delta Q = 0$
So $\Delta W = - \Delta U \, ( \, \Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W)$
