A gas may expand either adiabatically or isothermally. A number of $P-V$ curves are drawn for the two processes over different range of pressure and volume. It will be found that

  • A

    An adiabatic curve and an isothermal curve may intersect

  • B

    Two adiabatic curves do not intersect

  • C

    Two isothermal curves do not intersect

  • D

    All of these

Figure shows a cylindrical adiabatic container of total volume $2V_0$ divided into two equal parts by a conducting piston (which is free to move). Each part containing identical gas at pressure $P_0$ . Initially temperature of left and right part is $4T_0$ and $T_0$ respectively. An external force is applied on the piston to keep the piston at rest. Find the value of external force required when thermal equilibrium is reached. ( $A =$ Area of piston)
