AIIMS 2018 Physics Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: Zeroth law of thermodynamics explains the concept of energy. Reason: Energy does not depends on temperature.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is false because the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics establishes thermal equilibrium and the concept of temperature, not energy. The reason is also false, as energy is indeed dependent on temperature, particularly in terms of kinetic energy and thermal energy in systems. Options A and B are incorrect because they assume the assertion is true, while option C is incorrect as it suggests the assertion is true when it is not. Understanding the Zeroth Law is crucial for grasping how temperature relates to thermal energy transfer between systems.
