Correct answer: A. Isotherm
- A. Isotherm
- B. Adiabatic
- C. Both a and b
- D. Either a or b
Explanation
An isotherm is a curve on a graph representing the variation of pressure or other parameters while keeping the temperature constant during a process. It is specifically associated with isothermal processes.

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.
