Which thermodynamic process occurs at a constant volume? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which thermodynamic process occurs at a constant volume?
A. Isobaric process
B. Isochoric process
C. Adiabatic process
D. Isothermal process
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
An isochoric process is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system remains constant (delta V = 0). Because there is no change in volume, the system does zero pressure-volume work (W = Pdelta V = 0). According to the first law of thermodynamics, any heat added goes entirely into increasing the internal energy. Isobaric is constant pressure; isothermal is constant temperature.

Question #3
The prefix 'femto' in SI units represents a factor of:
A. 10⁻¹⁵
B. 10⁻¹²
C. 10⁻⁹
D. 10⁻¹⁸

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The SI prefix 'femto' denotes a factor of 10⁻¹⁵. This is standardized by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. Common prefixes: pico (10⁻¹²), femto (10⁻¹⁵), atto (10⁻¹⁸), nano (10⁻⁹). Femtometer (10⁻¹⁵ m) is used in nuclear physics to measure atomic nuclei sizes. Exam tip: Remember the sequence: pico, femto, atto for decreasing scales. This question tests fundamental knowledge of SI prefixes essential for unit conversions in competitive examinations.
