AIPMT MAINS 2012 Physics First Law of Thermodynamics Multiple Correct Question
Type: Multiple Correct-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
An ideal gas goes from state A to state B via three different processes as indicated in the P⁻V diagram: If Q₁, Q₂, Q₃ indicate the heat a absorbed by the gas along the three processes and ΔU₁, ΔU₂, ΔU₃ indicate the change in internal energy along the three processes respectively, then

A
Q₁ > Q₂ > Q₃ and ΔU₁ = ΔU₂ = ΔU₃
B
Q₂ > Q₃ > Q₁ and ΔU₁ = ΔU₂ = ΔU₃
C
Q₁ = Q₂ = Q₃ and ΔU₁ > ΔU₂ > ΔU₃
D
Q₃ > Q₂ > Q₁ and ΔU₁ > ΔU₂ > ΔU₃
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The initial and final conditions are the same for all processes, so ΔU₁ = ΔU₂ = ΔU₃. The work done ΔW₁ > ΔW₂ > ΔW₃, which implies ΔQ₁ > ΔQ₂ > ΔQ₃.
