MCQ
A given system undergoes a change in which work done by the system equals the decrease in its internal energy. The system must have undergone:
  • A
    Isothermal change.
  • B
    Adiabatic change.
  • C
    Isobaric change.
  • D
    Isochoric change.

Answer

  1. Adiabatic change.

Explanation:

When a gas expands suddenly, (adiabatic change) work is done by the gas. Therefore, internal energy of the system decreases.
