Q.

An ideal gas is filled in a closed rigid and thermally insulated container. A coil of 100 Ω resistor carrying current 1 A for 5 minutes supplies heat to the gas. The change in internal energy of the gas is                   [2005]

1 10 kJ  
2 30 kJ  
3 20 kJ  
4 0 kJ  

Ans.

Here, change in internal energy = heat supplied

i.e., ΔU=Q=I2Rt

              =1×1×100×5×60=30,000 J=30 kJ
