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
  • A
    Isothermal change
  • Adiabatic change
  • C
    Isobaric change
  • D
    Isochoric change

Answer

Correct option: B.
Adiabatic change
b
(b)In adiabatic change $Q =$ constant ==> $\Delta Q = 0$
So $\Delta W = -  \Delta U \, ( \, \Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W)$
