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.

Among the amount of heat absorbed and the amount of work done by a system, ______
An ideal gas is expanded isothermally from volume V1 to volume V2 and then compressed adiabatically to original volume V1. If the initial pressure is P1, the final pressure is P3 and net work done is W, then ____________.
Two identical samples of a gas are allowed to expand (i) isothermally (ii) adiabatically. Work done is ____________.
In which of the following processes, beat is neither absorbed nor released by a system?
In an isothermal process, the volume of an ideal gas is halved. One can say that ____________.
Assertion: Equal volumes of monatomic and polyatomic gases are adiabatically compressed separately to equal compression ratio `("P"_2/"P"_1)`. Then monatomic gas will have greater final volume.
Reason: Among ideal gases, molecules of a monatomic gas have the smallest number of degrees of freedom.
