For this case what you should know is the statement of the first law of thermodynamics.
By definition, we have to:
- This law establishes that energy is not created, nor destroyed, but is conserved.
- Then we have that when a certain system is subjected to a thermodynamic cycle, the heat given by the system will be equal to the work received by it, and vice versa.
In equation mode we have to:
[tex]Q-W = 0[/tex]
Where,
- Q: heat
- W: work done
Answer:
A) Energy can not be created or destroyed.
