NEET Physics Isothermal & Adiabatic Processes MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

For an adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas, if the initial internal energy is 500 J and the work done on the system is -200 J, what is the final internal energy of the system?

A

300 J

B

500 J

C

700 J

D

200 J

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In an adiabatic process, the change in internal energy (∆U) is equal to the work done on the system (w) since q = 0. Thus, ∆U = w = -200 J. Therefore, the final internal energy is U_final = U_initial + ∆U = 500 J + (-200 J) = 300 J.
