Solution
In a cyclic process, if ΔU = internal energy, W = work done, Q = Heat supplied then W = Q.
Explanation:
In a cyclic process, the system returns to its initial state at the end of the cycle. Since the internal energy (ΔU) depends only on the state of the system, the change in internal energy over one complete cycle is:
ΔU = 0
From the first law of thermodynamics:
Substituting ΔU = 0
Q = W
Thus, in a cyclic process, the heat supplied to the system (Q) is equal to the work done by the system (W).

An ideal gas A and a real gas B have their volumes increased from V to 2V under isothermal conditions. The increase in internal energy ____________.
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.
