During compression of a spring the work done is 10kJ and 2kJ escaped to the surroundings as heat. The change in internal energy, Δ\Delta U(inkJ) is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A -12
  • B 8
  • C -8
  • D 12

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Here heat is released so q is negative.

∴\therefore q = - 2 kJ

Work done on the system, w = 10 kJ

From first law of thermodynamics,

Δ\Delta U = q + w = -2 + 10 = 8 kJ
