A system is taken from state A to state B along two different paths 1 and 2. The heat absorbed and work done by the system along these two paths are Q1 and Q2, and W1 and W2 respectively. Then

Question

A system is taken from state A to state B along 2 different paths 1 and 2 . The heat absorbed and work done by the system along these 2 paths are

Q_{1}, Q_{2}

and

W_{1}, W_{2}

By first law of thermodynamics

< b r / > Q_{1} + (- W_{1}) = Q_{2} + (- W_{2}) < b r / >

Hence

Q_{1} - W_{1} = Q_{2} - W_{2}

is correct.
