JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 11. thermodynamics

Under isothermal condition, the pressure of a gas is given by \(P = aV ^{-3}\), where \(a\) is a constant and \(V\) is the volume of the gas. The bulk modulus at constant temperature is equal to \(..........\,P\)

  1. A \(0.5\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B =-\frac{ dP }{ dv / v }\) \(Pv ^3= a\) Differentiating w.r.t to pressure \(v^3+P 3 v^2 \frac{d v}{d P}=0\) \(v=-3 \frac{P d v}{d P}=0\) \(v=-3 \frac{P d v}{d P}\) \(\frac{d P . v}{d v}=-3 P\) \(B=-\left(\frac{d P v}{d v}\right)=-(-3 P)=3 P\)
