JEE Important Shortcuts
### Shortcut 1
For ideal gas:
$$\Delta U\propto\Delta T$$
---
### Shortcut 2
For cyclic process:
$$\Delta U=0$$
Therefore:
$$Q=W$$
---
### Shortcut 3
Adiabatic curve is steeper than isothermal curve.
$$\gamma>1$$
---
### Shortcut 4
Maximum efficiency:
$$\eta_{Carnot}=1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$$
---
### Shortcut 5
For isolated system:
$$Q=0$$
$$W=0$$
Therefore:
$$\Delta U=0$$
