Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. An adiabatic process occurs at constant (A) Temperature (B) Volume (C) Heat (D) None of the above.

Since, processes which occur at constant temperature are called isothermal processes. Process which occurs at constant magnitude of volume is called Isochoric. And, all the thermodynamic processes which occur at constant heat are called adiabatic processes, So, the correct option is (C) Heat.

2. Define Isothermal process.

The thermodynamics process in which the temperature of the whole system remains constant over a period of time is called isothermal process. So, the constant temperature of any system makes the process an isothermal process. For example, melting of ice at zero degree is such an example of an isothermal process.

3. Change in internal energy in isothermal process is (A) positive (B) negative (C) Depends upon the Volume of the gas. (D) zero.

In an isothermal process, the temperature of the system remains the same, so the change in temperature is always zero, and due to this the change in internal energy in an isothermal process is always zero, SO, the correct option is (D) zero.

4. During isothermal process, (A) Temperature remains the same. (B) Change in internal energy is zero. (C) Pressure is constant. (D) Volume changes slowly.

In an isothermal process, the temperature of the whole system is always the same and as well as the change in internal energy in isothermal process of the system is always zero. So, the correct option is During isothermal process (A) Temperature remains same and (B) Change in internal energy is zero.

5. For an ideal gas, in an isothermal process A. Heat content remains constant B. Heat content and temperature remain constant C. Temperature remains constant D. None of the above

Temperature remains constant.

6. In an isothermal expansion A. Internal energy of the gas increases B. Internal energy of the gas decreases C. Internal energy of the gas unchanged D. None of the above

Internal energy of the gas unchanged

7. Can two isothermal curves cut each other A. Never B. They will cut when temperature is 0 degree celsius C. Yes when pressure is critical pressure D. None of the above

Never
