(Figure) Shows three isothermal curves at temp `T_(1), T_(2) and T_(3)` `T_(3)gt T_(2)gt T_(1)`. A system changes its state by four paths a, b, c, and d, .Identify the path in which changes in internal energy of the system is maximum.

Answer» The change in internal energy vaties directly as the difference in temperatures of the system. In the path (d), difference in temperatures involved is `(T_(3)-T_(1))`, which is maximum. Therefore, change in internal energy would be maximum when the system follows the path (d).
