Explanation

**Isochoric process** constant volume ΔV=0, work W=0, first law ΔU = Q, all heat goes to internal energy, P/T = constant from ideal gas law P V = n R T at constant V, pressure proportional to temperature, P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂, e.g., heating gas in rigid container pressure rises proportionally to T. For cyclic: Δ U = 0 , Q_net = W . Q_net = Q_absorb - Q_reject = 1020 - 380 = 640 J . W = 640 J . Using first law ΔU = Q - W, W = ∫ P dV, isobaric W = P ΔV, isothermal W = n R T
