For a cyclic process, a fixed ratio between heat and work___________________?

Correct answer: A. Always exists

  • A. Always exists
  • B. May exist
  • C. Never exists
  • D. Is difficult to predict

Explanation

For a cycle, the system returns to its initial state, so its change in internal energy is zero and the net heat equals the net work. Therefore their ratio is fixed, with Qnet/Wnet = 1 when the signs use the same convention.
