| (B) Adiabatic | (II) ΔQ (supplied heat) = 0 |
| (C) Isobaric | (III) ΔU (change in internal energy) ≠ 0 |
| (D) Isochoric | (IV) ΔU = 0 |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
<p>To accurately match the terms from List-I with the corresponding statements in List-II, consider the properties of each thermodynamic process:</p>
<p><p><strong>Isothermal Process (A)</strong>: </p></p>
<p><p>During an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant ($ \Delta T = 0 $), which means that the change in internal energy ($ \Delta U $) is zero. Therefore, it corresponds to (IV).</p></p>
<p><p><strong>Adiabatic Process (B)</strong>: </p></p>
<p><p>In an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged with the surroundings ($ \Delta Q = 0 $). This matches with (II).</p></p>
<p><p><strong>Isobaric Process (C)</strong>: </p></p>
<p><p>An isobaric process involves constant pressure conditions ($ \Delta P = 0 $), but internal energy ($ \Delta U $) can change. Thus, it's associated with (III).</p></p>
<p><p><strong>Isochoric Process (D)</strong>: </p></p>
<p><p>For an isochoric process, volume remains constant ($ \Delta V = 0 $), which means that no work is done ($ \Delta W = 0 $). This aligns with (I).</p></p>
<p>Based on these descriptions, the correct matching is:</p>
<p><p>(A) Isothermal → (IV)</p></p>
<p><p>(B) Adiabatic → (II)</p></p>
<p><p>(C) Isobaric → (III)</p></p>
<p><p>(D) Isochoric → (I)</p></p>
