Q21

In a P-V diagram (for an ideal gas), an isothermal curve will coincide withan adiabatic curve (through a point), when

A.
Cp < Cv
B.
Cp = Cv
Answer
C.
Cp > Cv
D.
Cp ≥ Cv

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The slope of isothermal process in  plane is
The slope of adiabatic process in  plane is
Slopes become equal when
