An ideal gas is enclosed in an insulated cylinder. The piston is frictionless and attached to an ideal spring. When the gas is heated, then:
1. | the work is done against the spring only. |
2. | the work is done against the atmospheric pressure only. |
3. | the internal energy of gas increases. |
4. | the work is equal to the heat supplied. |
