Assertion: The isothermal curves intersect each other at a certain point.
Reason: The isothermal changes takes place rapidly, so the isothermal curves have very little slope.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
To carry out isothermal process, a perfect gas is compressed or allowed to expand very slowly. Isothermal curves never intersect each other as they have very little slope.

The slope of isothermal and adiabatic curves are related as

Assertion : The internal energy of an isothermal process does not change. Reason : The internal energy of a system depends only on pressure of the system.

The ratio of slopes of adiabatic and isothermal curves is

Statement-1: Temperature of a system can be increased without supplying heat. Statement-2: If the initial volume of system is equal to final volume in a process then work done is necessarily zero. Statement-3: If an adiabatic curve for a gas intersect with an isothermal curve for the same gas then at the point of intersection, the ratio of slope of the adiabatic and the isothermal curve is gamma .

Assertion : In an isothemal expansion the gas absorbs heat and does work while in an gas by the enviroment and heat is relaeased. Reason: In an isothermal process there is no change in internal energy of an ideal gas.

A gas may expand either adiabatically or isothermally. A number of p-V curves are drawn for the two processes over different ranges of pressure and volume, it will be found that (i) Two adiabatic curves do not intersect (ii) two isothermal curves do not intersect (iii) an adiabatic curve and an isothermal curve may intersect. (iv) the magnitude of the slope of an adiabatic curve is greater thanthe magnitude of the slope of an isothermal curve
