Work done in an adiabatic process between two states depends on the__________________?
Correct answer: A. End states only
- A. End states only
- B. Initial state only
- C. Rate of heat transmission
- 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.
