Q138 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2024 (23 May Shift 1) · Physics

A gas absorbs 18 J of heat and work done on the gas is 12 J, Then the change in internal energy of the gas

  • A
    24 J
  • B
    36 J
  • C
    6 J
  • Correct answer
    D
    30 J

Solution

For the gas, $\mathrm{Q}=18 \mathrm{~J}, \mathrm{~W}=-12 \mathrm{~J}$ $\therefore \quad$ Change in internal energy, $\Delta \mathrm{U}=\Delta \mathrm{Q}-\mathrm{W}=18-(-12)=30 \mathrm{~J}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
