Question 67

page11_img2

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic transformation starting from the point A and coming back to the same point by tracing the path $$ A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D \rightarrow A$$ as shown in the three cases above. Choose the correct option regarding $$\Delta U$$ :

In thermodynamics, internal energy $$\Delta U$$ is a state function, meaning its value depends only on the current state of the system and not on the path taken to reach that state.For any cyclic process where a system starts at point A and returns to the same point A:

  • The initial state is identical to the final state.
  • Therefore, the change in internal energy $$(\Delta U)$$ is always zero.
