NEET2009PhysicsThermodynamicsActual
Assertion : For an isothermal process in an ideal gas, the heat obsorbed by the gas is entirely used in the work done by the gas. Reason : During a process taking place in a system, the temperature remains constant then the process is isothermal.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
In case of an ideal gas internal energy depends only upon the temperature of the gas. Therefore, if an ideal gas undergoes an isothermal process, there will be no change in its internal energy ( U=0) Then Q=W .
