NEET 2016 Physics Laws of Thermodynamics MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then
A
Compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.
B
Which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process) requires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.
C
Compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done.
D
Compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
In an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged, so all work done changes the internal energy, requiring more work compared to isothermal compression.
