MCQ
The $P-V$ diagram of a system undergoing thermodynamic transformation is shown in figure. The work done on the system in going from $A → B → C$ is $50 J$ and $ 20\, cal$ heat is given to the system. The change in internal energy between $A$ and $C$ is ...... $J$
  • A
    $34 $
  • B
    $70 $
  • C
    $84 $
  • $134 $

Answer

Correct option: D.
$134 $
d
(d) Heat given $\Delta Q   = 20\,cal = 20 \times 4.2\, = 84\,J$.

Work done $\Delta W = -50 J$         [As process is anticlockwise]

By first law of thermodynamics

==> $\Delta U = \Delta Q - \Delta W = 84 - ( - \,50)\, = 134J$
