MCQ
If the internal energy of an ideal gas decreases by the same amount as the work done by  the system, the process is
  • A
    cyclic
  • B
    isothermal
  • adiabatic
  • D
    isolated

Answer

Correct option: C.
adiabatic
c
From the question, $\Delta U = W \quad \rightarrow( i )$

But from the $1^{\text {st }}$ law of thermodynamics,

$\Delta U = q + w \rightarrow(\text { ii) }$

From equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$q=0$

Therefore, the process is adiabatic.
