In an adiabatic process there is no:
Correct answer: B. Exchange of heat
- A. Work done
- B. Exchange of heat
- C. Change in temperature
- D. Change in internal energy
Explanation
An adiabatic process is defined as a process in which no heat transfer takes place. This does not mean that the temperature is constant, but rather that no heat is transferred into or out of the system.

About First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law relates heat supplied, work done and the change in internal energy through energy conservation. Problems use sign conventions and apply the law to isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric and isochoric processes. Internal energy is a state function, while heat and work depend on the path followed.
