NEET Physics Entropy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11

Which of the following statements about entropy and internal energy is correct?

A

The change in internal energy is independent of the process type, while entropy can vary between reversible and irreversible processes.

B

Entropy is always constant for all processes regardless of reversibility.

C

Internal energy increases with an increase in entropy for all systems.

D

Entropy decreases when a gas expands irreversibly.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, the change in internal energy (∆U) does not discriminate between reversible and irreversible processes, while the change in entropy (∆S) does. This highlights the difference in behavior between these two thermodynamic quantities.
