Dear Saumya

In Physics

U=Q-W

when work is done by the system W is positive and when work is done on the system W is negative

When heat is given to system Q is positive and when heat is given by the system Q is negative

In Chemistry

U=Q+W

when work is done by the system W is negative and when work is done on the system W is positive

When heat is given to system Q is positive and when heat is given by the system Q is negative

Hence both are same with a difference in sign convention only.

 

All the best.
