Q. If $\Delta U$ and $\Delta W$ represent the increase in internal energy and work done by the system respectively in a thermodynamical process, which of the following is true?

AIPMTAIPMT 2010Thermodynamics

Solution:

$\Delta U=q+W$
for an adiabatic process, $q=0$
$\therefore \Delta U = W$
i.e; increase or decrease in Internal energy is equal to work done.
