STANDARD Physics Adiabatic Processes MCQ Question
The possibility of increase in the temperature of a gas without adding heat to it happens in
adiabatic expansion
isothermal expansion
adiabatic compression
isothermal compression
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In an adiabatic process, dQ = 0, so dU + dW = 0 or dU = -dW. During compression, work is done on the gas, making dW negative. Hence, dU is positive, increasing the internal energy and temperature of the gas.
