NEET Physics Isothermal & Adiabatic Processes MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about isothermal and adiabatic processes are correct?
In an isothermal process, the internal energy of the system remains constant.
During an adiabatic process, there is no heat transfer between the system and its surroundings.
In an isothermal process, the work done is equal to the heat added to the system.
An adiabatic process can occur with a constant temperature throughout the process.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant, hence the internal energy does not change (∆U = 0). In an adiabatic process, there is indeed no heat transfer (q = 0), but the temperature can change.
