An adiabatic change is the one in which ______.
- A
No heat is added or taken out of the system
- B
No change of temperature takes place
- C
Boyle's law is applicable
- D
Pressure and volume remains constant
An adiabatic process is one in which there is no heat exchange with the surroundings. In other words, during an adiabatic change, the system undergoes a transformation without gaining or losing heat.
Hence Option A is correct.
In an adiabatic process, no heat is added or removed from the system.
In an isothermal process, no change in temperature takes place.
Boyle's law is not applicable in adiabatic change.
In an isochoric process, the volume remains constant, and due to no work being done, pressure is also constant.
