The slope of isothermal and adiabatic curves are related as
The slope of isothermal and adiabatic curves are related as
Options
- Aisothermal curve slope = adiabatic curve slope
- Bisothermal curve slope adiabatic curve slope
- Cadiabatic curve slope isothermal curve slope
- Dadiabatic curve slope isothermal curve slope
Correct answer
C. adiabatic curve slope isothermal curve slope
Step-by-step solution
For isothermal process constant \left(\frac{d p}{d V}\right)=-\frac{p}{V}=\mathrm{pV}^\gamma=\Rightarrow \quad\left(\frac{d p}{d V}\right)=-\frac{\gamma p}{V}=\quad\left(\frac{d p}{d V}\right)_{\text{adiabatic }}=\gamma\left(\frac{d p}{d V}\right)_{\text{isothermal }}
