Answer 1

Answer:

W provides energy output, while Q provides energy input and They are equal in magnitude

Explanation:

ISOTHERMAL EXPANSION is thermodynamic process, where there is no change in the temperature the system.

"Q" means heat while "W" means work.

From the first law of thermodynamics,

dU = dQ – dW

Where

dW = pdV

FOR ISOTHERMAL process

dU = 0 ( there is no change internal energy and the system is loosing the internal energy due to work "W")

dQ – dW=0

dQ=dW

W=Q (for an ideal gas)

*Therefore both Q and W are equal in magnitude because the system needs more internal energy due to loss of energy during Work.

In conclusion "W" provides energy output, while Q provides energy input.
