QUESTION:
When heat is added to a system, it goes into which of the following? (5.7)
(a) doing work only
(b) adding to the internal energy only
(c) doing work, increasing the internal energy, or both
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
When the heat is supplied to a system, then the temperature of the system can be increased.
The internal energy can be expressed as,
\(U=m C_{v} \Delta T\)
Here, m is the mass of the system, \(C_{v}\) is the specific heat at constant volume, \(\Delta T\) is the change in the temperature of the system.
From the above equation, it can be observed that the temperature of the system increases, then the internal energy of the system will increase.
