Q.

The pressure of a gas changes linearly with volume from A to B as shown in the figure. If no heat is supplied to or extracted from the gas, then the change in the internal energy of the gas will be                [2023]

1 6 J  
2 Zero  
3 −4.5 J  
4 4.5 J  

Ans.

(4)

As Δq=0

Δu=-W

W=PdV

Δu=-W=30×103×150×10-6

       =4500×10-3=4.5 J
