Q48 / 268 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Thermodynamics

For the free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic conditions, which of the following is true?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Q=W=0and⁡ ΔU=0
  • B
    Q≠0, W=0 and ΔU=W
  • C
    Q=0, W≠0 and ΔU=W
  • D
    Q≠0, W≠0 and ΔU=0

Solution

During free expansion of an ideal gas no work is done and also no heat is supplied from outside. Therefore from first law of thermodynamics no change in internal energy.

Q=W=0and⁡ ΔU=0

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