List of top Physics Questions on Thermodynamics terms

The expression given below shows the variation of velocity \( v \) with time \( t \): \[ v = At^2 + \frac{Bt}{C + t}. \] The dimension of \( ABC \) is:
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: In a central force field, the work done is independent of the path chosen. Reason R: Every force encountered in mechanics does not have an associated potential energy. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Which of the following figure represents the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures?
A Carnot engine (E) is working between two temperatures 473K and 273K. In a new system two engines - engine \(E_1\) works between 473K to 373K and engine \(E_2\) works between 373K to 273K. If \(\eta_{12}\), \(\eta_1\) and \(\eta_2\) are the efficiencies of the engines \(E\), \(E_1\) and \(E_2\), respectively, then:
An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a movable piston. The gas undergoes an isothermal expansion from a volume of 2 liters to 8 liters at a temperature of 300 K. If the initial pressure of the gas is \( 2 \times 10^5 \, \text{Pa} \), calculate the work done by the gas during this expansion. (Use \( R = 8.31 \, \text{J/mol·K} \))

Consider a long straight wire of a circular cross-section (radius \( a \)) carrying a steady current \( I \). The current is uniformly distributed across this cross-section. The distances from the centre of the wire's cross-section at which the magnetic field (inside the wire, outside the wire) is half of the maximum possible magnetic field, anywhere due to the wire, will be:
Young's double slit interference apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.44. It has slit separation of 1.5 mm. The slits are illuminated by a parallel beam of light whose wavelength in air is 690 nm. The fringe-width on a screen placed behind the plane of slits at a distance of 0.72 m, will be:
