Physics-Isothermal & Adiabatic Processes

NEET Physics Isothermal & Adiabatic Processes MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11

Which of the following combinations accurately describe isothermal and adiabatic processes?

A

In an isothermal process, temperature remains constant, while in an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged.

B

An isothermal process allows for heat transfer, whereas an adiabatic process occurs without any work done on the system.

C

Both isothermal and adiabatic processes involve constant pressure conditions.

D

Isothermal processes result in a change in internal energy, while adiabatic processes do not change internal energy.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A is correct as isothermal processes maintain constant temperature, and adiabatic processes involve no heat transfer between the system and surroundings. Statement B is incorrect because an isothermal process allows heat transfer. Statement C is wrong since isothermal and adiabatic processes do not necessarily involve constant pressure. Statement D is misleading because internal energy can change in an adiabatic process due to work done on the system.
