Following graph shows four different processes, adiabatic, isothermal, isobaric and isochoric for an ideal gas, from the same initial state. Study the graph carefully and state which of the following statements is correct?

  1. A Process 4 is adiabatic
  2. B Process 1 is isochoric
  3. C Process 2 is isobaric
  4. D Process 3 isochoric
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Process 1 is isochoric

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the given \(P-V\) graph, we can analyze the four processes starting from the same initial state: 1. Process 1 is a vertical line parallel to the \(P\)-axis. This indicates that the volume \(V\) remains constant while the pressure changes. Therefore, Process 1 is an…
