The process in which all the supplied heat is converted into work is called:
Correct answer: E. Isothermal
- A. Isochoric
- B. Isobaric
- C. Adiabatic
- D. Isotropic
- E. Isothermal
Explanation
The process in which all the supplied heat is converted into work is called a reversible isothermal process. However, it's important to note that in real-world scenarios, achieving 100% conversion of heat into work is impossible due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that some energy will always be lost as waste heat.

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.
