At a certain temperature, T (K), during a process, 500 J is absorbed by the system and work of 200 J is done by the system. Then change in internal energy of the system is:
A 700 J
B 300 J
C 400 J
D 500 J

Detailed Solution

Heat absorbed by the system, q = +500 J Work done by the system, w = $-200$ J $\Delta U = q + w = 500 - 200 = 300$ J
