Question

Carnot cycle consists of:
  1. A
    Two isothermals and two adiabatics
    Correct
  2. B
    Two isobars and two isochores
  3. C
    Four adiabatic processes
  4. D
    One isotherm and three adiabatics

Correct answer

Two isothermals and two adiabatics

Explanation

Carnot cycle: isothermal expansion → adiabatic expansion → isothermal compression → adiabatic compression.
