STANDARD Physics Adiabatic Processes MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

If a gas is compressed adiabatically by doing work of 150 J, the change in internal energy of the gas is

A

100 J

B

150 J

C

200 J

D

250 J

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Since the gas is compressed adiabatically, then dQ = 0 and dW = −150 J. From the first law of thermodynamics, dQ = dU + dW, dU = −dW = −(−150) = 150 J.
