Ninja StrategyIdentify Defining Characteristics

Quickly identify the defining characteristic for each thermodynamic process (e.g., ΔV=0 for isochoric, ΔQ=0 for adiabatic) and match it to the simplified First Law expression to eliminate incorrect options.

Step 1: Recall the First Law of Thermodynamics and definitions✦ Active

The First Law of Thermodynamics is given by ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW. For a quasi-static process, the work done by the system is ΔW=PΔV. Therefore, the First Law can also be written as ΔQ=ΔU+PΔV.

Step 2: Apply the First Law to each process in List-I○ Expand

(A) Isobaric process: Pressure (P) is constant. The equation remains ΔQ=ΔU+PΔV. This matches (IV). (B) Isochoric process: Volume (V) is constant, so ΔV=0. Thus, ΔW=PΔV=0. The First Law becomes ΔQ=ΔU. This matches (II). (C) Adiabatic process: No heat exchange, so ΔQ=0. This matches (III). (D) Isothermal process: Temperature (T) is constant. For an ideal gas, internal energy (U) depends only on temperature, so ΔU=0. The First Law becomes ΔQ=ΔW. This matches (I).

💡 Teacher's Secret Hint

Remember that for an ideal gas, internal energy is solely a function of temperature.

Step 3: Match the processes to their corresponding expressions○ Expand

Based on the analysis: (A) Isobaric (IV) ΔQ=ΔU+PΔV (B) Isochoric (II) ΔQ=ΔU (C) Adiabatic (III) ΔQ=zero (D) Isothermal (I) ΔQ=ΔW This combination corresponds to option 4.
