Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Match the thermodynamic processes taking place in a system with the correct conditions. In the table : $\Delta$Q is the heat supplied, $\Delta$W is the work done and $\Delta$U is change in internal energy of the system.

Process Condition
(I) Adiabatic (1) $\Delta$W = 0
(II) Isothermal (2) $\Delta$Q = 0
(III) Isochoric (3) $\Delta$U $\ne$ 0, $\Delta$W $\ne$ 0, $\Delta$Q $\ne$ 0
(IV) Isobaric (4) $\Delta$U = 0

  1. A (I) - (1), (II) - (1), (III) - (2), (IV) - (3)
  2. B (I) - (2), (II) - (4), (III) - (1), (IV) - (3) Correct answer
  3. C (I) - (1), (II) - (2), (III) - (4), (IV) - (4)
  4. D (I) - (2), (II) - (1), (III) - (4), (IV) - (3)

Solution

(I) Adiabatic, $\Delta$Q = 0 <br><br>(II) Isothermal, $\Delta$U = 0 <br><br>(III) Isochoric, $\int {pdV}$ = 0 $\Rightarrow$ W = 0 <br><br>(IV) Isobaric process $\Rightarrow$ Pressure remains constant <br><br>W = P.$\Delta$V $\ne$ 0 <br><br>$\Delta$U $\ne$ 0 <br><br>$\Delta$Q = nC<sub>p</sub>$\Delta$T $\ne$ 0
