MCQ
Which of the following is a slow process
  • Isothermal
  • B
    Adiabatic
  • C
    Isobaric
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
Isothermal
a
isothermal processes are necessarily slow as they require heat transfer to remain at the same temperature which is done by being in thermal equilibrium with some reservoir. $A$ process will be isothermal only if it happens on timescales larger than the timescale required for effective heat transfer.

A heavy ring of mass m is clamped on the periphery of al light circular disc. A small particle having equal mass is clamped at the centre of the disc. The system is rotated in such a way that the centre moves in a circle of radius r with a uniform speed v. We conclude that an external force:

  1. $\frac{\text{mv}^2}{\text{r}}$ must be acting on the central particle.

  2. $\frac{2\text{mv}^2}{\text{r}}$ must be acting on the central particle.

  3. $\frac{2\text{mv}^2}{\text{r}}$ must be acting on the system.

  4. $\frac{2\text{mv}^2}{\text{r}}$ must be acting on the ring.
