Q136 / 170 · Manipal (MET) 2021 · Physics

In the indicator diagram, $A B$ is an isotherm and $B C$ is an adiabat, because :

A
$A B$ and $B C$ meet at $B$
B
$B C$ is shorter than $A B$
Correct answer
C
slope of $A B$ is less than slope of $B C$
D
none of the above

Solution

Slope of isothermal curve $(A B)$ is smaller than slope of adiabatic curve $(B C)$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
