Worked practice questions

The zeroth law says two systems in equilibrium with a third are:

  1. In equilibrium
  2. In excitation
  3. In expansion
  4. In extension
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. In equilibrium

1. The third system acts as a reference. 2. This gives the concept of temperature. 3. They are in thermal equilibrium with each other. _Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 11 'Thermodynamics'_

Who formulated the zeroth law of thermodynamics?

  1. R.H. Fermat
  2. R.H. Fowler
  3. R.H. Faraday
  4. R.H. Fresnel
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. R.H. Fowler

1. The law came after the first and second. 2. It was numbered zero because it is more basic. 3. It was formulated by R.H. Fowler. _Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 11 'Thermodynamics'_

A wall that does not allow heat to flow is called:

  1. Diamagnetic
  2. Dielectric
  3. Adiabatic
  4. Diathermic
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Adiabatic

1. It insulates one system from another. 2. The conducting counterpart is diathermic. 3. It is an adiabatic wall. _Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 11 'Thermodynamics'_
