In which process entropy remains constant
Correct answer: D. isothermal
- A. isobaric
- B. isochoric
- C. adiabatic
- D. isothermal
Explanation
an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant throughout the process. Since entropy S is a function of state and depends on temperature, in an isothermal process where the temperature doesn't change, the entropy of the system remains constant.Change in Entropy= ΔT/tHere, T is the temperature of the system. As in the Isothermal process the temperature is constant. ΔT=0 as a result change in entropy is also zero

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
