In isochoric process:

Correct answer: C. Volume is kept constant

  • A. Pressure is kep constant
  • B. Exchange of heat is zero
  • C. Volume is kept constant
  • D. Temperature is kept constant

Explanation

In an isochoric process, also known as an isovolumetric process, the volume remains constant. This means that the system undergoing the process doesn't experience any change in its volume throughout the entire process. In other words, the system is confined within a container or a closed space, and there is no work done in terms of expansion or compression.

About First Law of Thermodynamics

The first law relates heat supplied, work done and the change in internal energy through energy conservation. Problems use sign conventions and apply the law to isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric and isochoric processes. Internal energy is a state function, while heat and work depend on the path followed.
