Internal Energy of Ideal Gas

Assertion (A): There is no change in internal energy for ideal gas at constant temperature.
Reason (R): Internal energy of an ideal gas is a function of temperature only.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

For an ideal gas, internal energy \(U\) depends solely on temperature \(T\). Therefore, if \(T\) is constant, \(Delta U = 0\). Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).
