Question:
The change in internal energy when a gas is taken through a cyclic process completely once is
The change in internal energy when a gas is taken through a cyclic process completely once is
Show Hint
For cyclic processes, remember that the change in internal energy is zero, as the system returns to its initial state.

- infinity
- zero
- very large
- Small but positive
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In a cyclic process, the internal energy of the gas returns to its initial state after completing the cycle. Since internal energy is a state function, the change in internal energy for a complete cycle is always zero.
