Internal energy and internal energy change
Question

Reversible expansion of an ideal gas under isothermal and adiabatic conditions are as shown in the figure.

AB  Isothermal expansion
AC Adiabatic expansion
Which of the following options is not correct?

Difficult
Solution

Since graph A to C represents adiabatic reversible expansion, so work is done at the expense of internal energy, therefore, there is decrease in internal energy. So the temperature decreases.

 i.e., TC<TA
