If $\Delta Q$ and $\Delta W$ represent the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system respectively,then the first law of thermodynamics can be written as

  • A
    $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$
  • B
    $\Delta Q = \Delta U - \Delta W$
  • C
    $\Delta Q = \Delta W - \Delta U$
  • D
    $\Delta Q = -\Delta W - \Delta U$
