Question 982: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

Which of the following processes is reversible?

Accepted Answer

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.
