JEE MainChemistryThermodynamicsMCQ+4 / −1
An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic transformation starting from the point A and coming back to the same point by tracing the path A→B→C→D→A as shown in the three cases above. Choose the correct option regarding ΔU :- A

Correct answer: C
- Key thermodynamic fact
For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature:
Hence, the change in internal energy is
So, depends only on the initial and final states, not on the path.
- Nature of the given process
The gas undergoes a cyclic transformation:
That means the system starts at point and returns to the same point .
So initial state = final state.
Therefore,
and hence
for each cyclic process.
- Apply to all three cases
Since all three diagrams represent cyclic processes starting and ending at the same state,
Therefore,
- Evaluate options
- A: False
- B: False
- C: True
- D: False
- Final answer
The correct option is:
