NEETPhysicsHeat and ThermodynamicsMCQ+4 / −1
Which of the following processes is reversible?
  1. A
    Transfer of heat by conduction
  2. B
    Transfer of heat by radiation
  3. C
    Isothermal compression
  4. D
    Electrical heating of a nichrome wire.

Correct answer: C

For a process to be reversible, it must be quasi-static. For quasi static process, all changes take place infinitely slowly. Isothermal process occur very slowly so it is quasi-static and hence it is reversible.
