MCQ
In adiabatic expansion
  • A
    $\Delta U=0$
  • $\Delta U=$ negative
  • C
    $\Delta U=$ positive
  • D
    $\Delta W=$ zero

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\Delta U=$ negative
In case of adiabatic expansion $\Delta W=$ positive and $\Delta Q=0$
from FLOT $(\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W) \Rightarrow \Delta U=-\Delta W \quad$ i.e., $\Delta U$ will be negative.
