Question
In the given $P-V$ diagram the path (2) from $A$ to $B$ is zig-zag path, but (1) is simple path. Then:(a) $W_{1}=W_{2}$(b) $\Delta U_{1}=\Delta U_{2}$(c) $W_{1}>W_{2}$(d) both (b) and (c) are correct
Step 1
This means that the change in internal energy, which is a state function and depends only on the initial and final states, will be the same for both paths. Therefore, we have $\Delta U_{1}=\Delta U_{2}$. Show more…
