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 = 1 2 isothermal curve slope
Correct answer
C. adiabatic curve slope = isothermal curve slope
Step-by-step solution
For isothermal process p V= constant ( d p d V )=- p V = slope of isothermal curve For adiabatic process, pV ^ = constant ( d p d V )=- p V = slope of adiabatic curve Clearly, ( d p d V )_ adiabatic = ( d p d V )_ isothermal
