Internal energy change of a system over one complete cycle in a cyclic process is__________________?

Correct answer: A. Zero

  • A. Zero
  • B. +ve
  • C. -ve
  • D. Dependent on the path

Explanation

Internal energy is a state function, so its change depends only on the initial and final states. After a complete cycle the system returns to its initial state, making the net internal-energy change zero.
