The work done by a system is 10 Joule, when 40 Joule heat is supplied to it. What is the increase in internal energy of system?
Correct answer: A. 30J
- A. 30J
- B. 40 J
- C. 50 J
- D. 20 J
Explanation
To find the increase in internal energy of the system, we can use the first law of thermodynamics, which states: ΔU = Q - W where: ΔU = change in internal energy of the system Q = heat supplied to the system W = work done by the system Given: Q = 40 Joule (heat supplied to the system) W = 10 Joule (work done by the system) Now, put the values into the equation: ΔU = 40 J - 10 J ΔU =30 J The increase in the internal energy of the system is 30 Joules, therefore option A is the correct answer.
