Updated On: Jul 15, 2024
- \(\Delta S_{\text{universe}} = S_{\text{system}} - \Delta S_{\text{surroundings}}\)
- \(\Delta S_{\text{universe}} = S_{\text{surroundings}} - \Delta S_{\text{system}}\)
- \(S_{\text{system}} = \Delta S_{\text{universe}} + \Delta S_{\text{surroundings}}\)
- \(\Delta S_{\text{universe}} = S_{\text{system}} + \Delta S_{\text{surroundings}}\)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia

- Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas, the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason (R): In an isothermal process, \( PV = \text{constant} \), while in an adiabatic process \( PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \). Here, \( \gamma \) is the ratio of specific heats, \( P \) is the pressure and \( V \) is the volume of the ideal gas.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:- JEE Main - 2025
- Physics
- Thermodynamics
