JEE PYQ: Thermodynamics Question 1
Question 1 - 2021 (16 Mar Shift 1)
In thermodynamics, heat and work are :
(1) Path functions
(2) Intensive thermodynamic state variables
(3) Extensive thermodynamic state variables
(4) Point functions
Show Answer
Answer: (1)
Solution
Heat and work are treated as path functions in thermodynamics. $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$. Since work done by gas depends on type of process i.e. path and $\Delta U$ depends just on initial and final states, so $\Delta Q$ i.e. heat, also has to depend on process is path.
