उत्तर
- A thermodynamic process that returns a system to its initial state is cyclic.
- In this process, the initial and the final states are the same.
- For a cyclic process, the total change in the internal energy of a system is zero. (ΔU = 0).
- According to the first law of thermodynamics, we have, for a cyclic process, Q = W
- The given figure shows the p-V diagram of a cyclic process, which is a closed loop.
