NEET Physics Heat Engines MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11
If the internal energy change (∆U) is zero for an isothermal process involving an ideal gas, what can be inferred about the heat (q) transferred in the process if no work is done?
A
q is zero
B
q is positive
C
q is negative
D
q can be either positive or negative
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In an isothermal process for an ideal gas where no work is done, ∆U = 0 implies q must be zero, as the change in internal energy equals the heat transferred.
