Question

In the first law of thermodynamics, △E = Q-w, what does △E stand for?

A. the work done by the piston

B. the internal energy of the system

C. the heat added to the system

D. the change in the internal energy of the system

Answer 1

hello! the awnser is c.the heat added to the system

Step-by-step explanation:

i took the test and got it right ;)

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that the energy can neither be destroyed not be formed but it can only be transformed from one form to another.

Here, the internal energy of the system is being transformed to the heat energy and the work done by the system. The equation used to represent first law of thermodynamic is:

`\Delta E=Q-w`

where,

`\Delta E` represents the internal energy of the system.

Q = heat released or absorbed by the system.

w = work done by or on the system.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
