Question

The type of processes represented by the curves X and Y are: 

• A. Isothermal and Isobaric
• B. Isothermal and Adiabatic
• C. Isobaric and Isochoric
• D. Isochoric and Isobaric
• E. Adiabatic and Isothermal

Hint:

In an isothermal process, temperature remains constant, while in an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged with the surroundings.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the given question, we are given a P-V diagram (Pressure vs Volume graph) with two curves labeled as X and Y. 
- The curve X represents an Isothermal process, where temperature remains constant and the curve shows a hyperbolic shape.
- The curve Y represents an Adiabatic process, where the system undergoes a process with no heat exchange, and the curve typically has a steeper slope than an isothermal curve. 
Thus, curve X represents an isothermal process and curve Y represents an adiabatic process.
