PHYSICS

Question: Match the following for the value of ‘α’ for following process represented by
PVα = constant?
a) constant pressure p) α = 0
b) constant volume q) α = 1
c) constant temperature r) α → ∞
d) No heat exchange s) α = γ
Options:
(a) a → q, b → s, c → p, d → r
(b) a → p, b → r, c → q, d → s
(c) a → s, b → p, c → r, d → q
(d) a → p, b → r, c → q, d → s
Answer: (b)
Solution:
PV α = constant
For adiabatic process, PV γ ⇒ a =γ ( for d )
For isothermal process, PV = constant ⇒ α =
1 (for c)
For isobaric process, P = constant ⇒ α =
0
From these facts, options (B) follows.

Question: A body cools from 100oC to 90oC in 20 mins. Find the time to cool from 110oC to
100oC.
Options:
(a) Equal to 20 mins
(b) Less than 20 mins
(c) More than 20 mins
(d) 30 min
Answer: (b)
Solution:
dQ
By Newton’s law of cooling: ∝ (T − T0 )
dt
T − T0 is the temperature difference between the body and the surroundings.
If this difference is more, then rate of cooling is higher, or cooling is faster.
So, to cool from 110°C to 100°C takes less time compared to the time taken to cool from
100°C to 90°C
