Work done in an adiabatic process between two states depends on the__________________?

Correct answer: C. End states only

  • A. Rate of heat transmission
  • B. Initial state only
  • C. End states only
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For an adiabatic closed system, Q = 0, so the work is determined by the change in internal energy, W = U₁ − U₂ under the usual sign convention. Internal energy is a state function, making the work depend on the initial and final states.
