NEET Physics Heat Engines MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 11

What is the relationship between change in internal energy (∆U) and heat (q) and work (w) as per the first law of thermodynamics?

A

∆U = q + w

B

∆U = q - w

C

∆U = q × w

D

∆U = q / w

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy (∆U) of a system is equal to the heat added to the system (q) plus the work done on the system (w). This relationship is fundamental to thermodynamics.
