NEETPhysicsThermodynamics
Assertion : Heat and work are modes of energy transfer to a system resulting in change in its internal energy. Reason : Heat and work in thermodynamics are state variables. The correct option among the following is
Options
- A(A) is true, (R) is true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A)
- B(A) is true, (R) is true but (R) is not the correct explanation for (A)
- C(A) is true but (R) is false
- D(A) is false but (R) is true
Correct answer
C. (A) is true but (R) is false
Step-by-step solution
Assertion is correct as U = Q - W Now, heat is a path function So, it is not a state variable. Therefore, reason is correct.
