NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation MCQ Question
In the context of the ideal gas equation, what is the relationship between the average kinetic energy of a molecule and the absolute temperature of the gas?
The average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
The average kinetic energy is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature.
The average kinetic energy is independent of the absolute temperature.
The average kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the absolute temperature.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The average kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, as stated in the equation E/N = (3/2) k_B T.
