In an isothermal process, the temperature of the gas remains constant. What can be said about the internal energy of an ideal gas? (2020) 2020
It increases
It decreases
It remains constant
It varies with pressure
For an ideal gas, the internal energy depends only on temperature. Since the temperature remains constant in an isothermal process, the internal energy also remains constant.
