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
- A24 J
- B36 J
- C6 J
- Correct answerD30 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'.
