Heat is given to an ideal gas in an isothermal process. Then
Heat is given to an ideal gas in an isothermal process. Then
Show Hint
In an isothermal process, the internal energy of an ideal gas does not change because temperature is constant, even though heat is added or work is done by the gas.

- The difference of temperature in a material can convert heat energy into electrical energy. To harvest the heat energy, the material should have:

- Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas, the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason (R): In an isothermal process, \( PV = \text{constant} \), while in an adiabatic process \( PV^\gamma = \text{constant} \). Here, \( \gamma \) is the ratio of specific heats, \( P \) is the pressure and \( V \) is the volume of the ideal gas.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:- JEE Main - 2025

- A poly-atomic molecule (C\(_3\)R, \(C_v = 4R\), where \(R\) is gas constant) goes from phase space point A (\(P_A = 10^4 \, \text{Pa}, V_A = 4 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3\)) to point B (\(P_B = 5 \times 10^4 \, \text{Pa}, V_B = 6 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}^3\)) to point C (\(P_C = 10^4 \, \text{Pa}, V_C = 8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3\)). A to B is an adiabatic path and B to C is an isothermal path. The net heat absorbed per unit mole by the system is:
