Which thermodynamic process occurs at a constant volume? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which thermodynamic process occurs at a constant volume?
A. Adiabatic process
B. Isochoric process
C. Isothermal process
D. Isobaric process
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
An isochoric process is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system remains constant (delta V = 0). Because there is no change in volume, the system does zero pressure-volume work (W = Pdelta V = 0). According to the first law of thermodynamics, any heat added goes entirely into increasing the internal energy. Isobaric is constant pressure; isothermal is constant temperature.

The resistance of a wire is R. If its length is doubled and area is halved, the new resistance is
A. 4R
B. R/2
C. R
D. 2R

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
R ∝ L/A. New L'=2L, A'=A/2 => R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R. Alternatively, volume constant? Not given, here both changed independently. So 4R.

A. 0.6 A
B. 2 A
C. 1.2 A
D. 6 A

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Total R = 10 Ω, I = V/R = 12/10 = 1.2 A.

A radioactive substance has half-life of 10 days. Fraction remaining after 30 days is
A. 1/8
B. 1/4
C. 1/2
D. 1/16

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Number of half-lives = 30/10 = 3. Remaining = (1/2)³ = 1/8. Exponential decay N = N₀(1/2)^(t/T). Radioactive decay constant λ = ln2/T.
