BITSAT Physics Question (2024) — Solution

Question

A source supplies heat to a system at the rate of 1000 W . If the system performs work at a rate of 200 W . The rate at which internal energy of the system increases

Options

  1. A. 1200 W
  2. B. 600 W
  3. C. 500 W
  4. D. 800 W

Answer

D. 800 W

Step-by-step solution

Given, Rate of heat supplied, dQ dt =1000 ~W Rate of work performed, dw dt =200 ~W Using first law of thermodynamics d Q=d U+d w \( dU dt = dQ dt - dw dt dU dt =1000-200=800\)
