Internal Energy
 

Internal Energy problem 10


  • State what is meant by internal energy.


  • The variation with volume of the pressure of an ideal gas as it undergoes a cycle ABCA of changes is shown in the figure below.




    The temperature of the gas at A is . The temperature at B is . Determine the temperature of the gas at C.


  • Explain why the change from C to A involves external work and a change in internal energy
