An ideal gas expands from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$. This may be achieved by either of the three processes: isobaric, isothermal and adiabatic. Let $\Delta U$ be the change in internal energy of the gas, $Q$ be the quantity of heat added to the system and $W$ be the work done by the system on the gas. Identify which of the following statements is false for $\Delta U$?
  • A$\Delta U$ is least under adiabatic process.
  • B$\Delta U$ is greatest under adiabatic process.
  • C$\Delta U$ is greatest under the isobaric process.
  • D$\Delta U$ in isothermal process lies in-between the values obtained under isobaric and adiabatic processes.
