Solution
The correct option is A −45 J
From the first law of thermodynamics,
△U=Q+W
where, Q is the heat transfer and W is the work done in the process.
Q=−65J, W=20 J
△U=−65+20=−45 J
From the first law of thermodynamics,
△U=Q+W
where, Q is the heat transfer and W is the work done in the process.
Q=−65J, W=20 J
△U=−65+20=−45 J
