Question:
Which of the following statements is correct?
Which of the following statements is correct?
Show Hint
Absolute zero is theoretically unattainable due to the third law of thermodynamics.
Updated On: Mar 26, 2025
- Absolute zero temperature can be achieved by isothermal magnetization only
- Absolute zero temperature can be achieved by adiabatic demagnetization only
- Absolute zero temperature cannot be achieved by a finite number of isothermal magnetization followed by adiabatic demagnetization
- None of the three
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The third law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to reach absolute zero in a finite number of steps. Even adiabatic demagnetization, which cools substances to extremely low temperatures, cannot reach absolute zero.
