An ideal gas expands from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$. This may be achieved by either of the three processes: isobaric,isothermal,and adiabatic. Let $\Delta U$ be the change in internal energy of the gas,$Q$ be the quantity of heat added to the system,and $W$ be the work done by the system. Identify which of the following statements is false for $\Delta U$?

  • A
    $\Delta U$ is least under adiabatic process.
  • B
    $\Delta U$ is greatest under adiabatic process.
  • C
    $\Delta U$ is greatest under the isobaric process.
  • D
    $\Delta U$ in isothermal process lies in-between the values obtained under isobaric and adiabatic processes.
