Physics · Thermodynamics
An ideal gas undergoes four different processes from the same initial state, represented on a standard P-V diagram. The processes are isobaric, isothermal, adiabatic, and isochoric. In descending order of their slopes on the P-V plot starting from the vertical axis, which process represents the adiabatic expansion?
- 1The expansion process that has a less steep negative slope compared to the isothermal curve.
- 2The expansion process that has a steeper negative slope compared to the isothermal curve.✓
- 3The process with infinite slope (isochoric).
- 4The process with zero slope (isobaric).
Correct answer
The expansion process that has a steeper negative slope compared to the isothermal curve.
