If $\mathrm{Q}, \mathrm{E}$ and $\mathrm{W}$ denote respectively the heat added, change in internal energy and the work done in a closed cycle process, then
  1. $\mathrm{Q}=0$
  2. $W=0$
  3. $\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{W}=0$
  4. $\mathrm{E}=0$

Solution

From the $1^{\text {st }}$ law of thermodynamics, $\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{E}+\mathrm{W}$ For cyclic process, $E=0, \therefore Q=W \neq 0$ ~
