Thermodynamic Processes
In an Isothermal change, the change in pressure and volume of a gas can be represented for three different temperatures; as:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Isothermal: = constant, so each curve is a rectangular hyperbola (not a straight line).
- At the same , higher gives higher , so the higher-temperature curve lies farther from the origin.
- Order outward: , , .
- So the answer is (b).
