Assertion: There is no change in internal energy in a cyclic process.
Reason: Internal energy is a state function.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
A function that depends only on the initial and final states of the system and is independent of the path are known as state functions. Therefore, internal energy is a state function. A cyclic process has the same initial and final states. Therefore, internal energy change is zero for a cyclic process.
