What happens to the internal energy of a system when work is done on it? What happens to its temperature?
Effect of work done on the system on internal energy and temperature.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Internal energy is the energy within a system which arises due to the interactions between its different parts and their relative position.
From the first law of thermodynamics:
Here,
When
Conclusion:
When the work is done on the system, internal energy increases and the temperature also increases.
