Q 11-11-078JEE MainJEE Main 2023 (30 Jan, Shift 1)Easy
Heat is given to an ideal gas in an isothermal process.
A. Internal energy of the gas will decrease.
B. Internal energy of the gas will increase.
C. Internal energy of the gas will not change.
D. The gas will do positive work.
E. The gas will do negative work.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer: (D) C and D only
For an ideal gas $U$ depends only on $T$, so in an isothermal process $\Delta U=0$ (C).
Then $Q=W$; heat is supplied ($Q>0$), so the gas does positive work (D).
