Question:

In an isothermal process

Show Hint

Isothermal means constant temperature. Isobaric means constant pressure, and isochoric means constant volume.
  • Internal energy of the system never remains constant
  • Total heat energy of the system remains constant
  • Volume of the system remains constant
  • Temperature of the system remains constant

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept: The word isothermal means: \[ \text{iso}=\text{same}, \qquad \text{thermal}=\text{temperature} \]

Step 1:
In an isothermal process, the temperature remains constant throughout the process. \[ T=\text{constant} \]

Step 2:
For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature. So, in an isothermal process for an ideal gas, internal energy also remains constant.

Step 3:
But the defining condition of an isothermal process is: \[ \boxed{\text{Temperature remains constant}} \] Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{Temperature of the system remains constant}} \]
