Which of the following will reduce energy of the system?
Q=10J
V=5J
W=+10J
W=-10J
IUPAC Sign Convention -
Any type of energy (Heat, Work ) given to system is positive
Any type of energy take out from the system
- wherein
i.e. 10 J work done on the system
i.e. 10 J released by the system
W is -ve means work is being done by the system and hence it's energy will decrease.
Therefore, Option(4) is correct.
