MCQ
In Maxwell's velocity distribution curve area under the graph:
  • A
    Increases when temperature is increased.
  • B
    Deccreases when temperature is increased.
  • C
    Remains same at all temperature.
  • D
    Depends on the pressure of the gas.

Answer

  1. Remains same at all temperature.

Explanation:

Area under the Maxwell's velocity distribution curve gives the number of particles. Since number of particles remains the same at all the temperatures, so the area under the curve also remains the same at all temperature.
