MCQ
In the adiabatic compression, the decrease in volume is associated with
  • A
    increase in temperature and decrease in pressure
  • B
    decrease in temperature and increase in pressure
  • C
    decrease in temperature and decrease in pressure
  • increase in temperature and increase in pressure

Answer

Correct option: D.
increase in temperature and increase in pressure
d
For an adiabatic process we have $P \times V^{\gamma}=k$ where $k$ is a constant

And similarly, $T \times V^{\gamma-1}=l$ where $l$ is a constant.

Therefore, the decrease in volume is associated with increase in temperature as well as increase in pressure.
