Question

Why for a isothermal expansion change in internal energy is 0.

Open in App
Solution

In Isothermal process the temperature is constant.

The internal energy is a state function dependent on temperature. Hence, the internal energy change is zero.
Internal energy is due to motion of particles in a system. As internal energy depends on temperature. As we know temperature in isothermal process is constant so the internal energy will also be constant thus the change in internal energy will be zero.
