Practise IB Physics HL B.4.9 by applying gas processes concepts to exam-style physics questions.
This question is in two parts
A gas undergoes a thermodynamic cycle. The P-V diagram for the cycle is shown below.

In the changes of state B to C and D to A , the gas behaves as an ideal gas and the changes in state are adiabatic.
State what is meant by an adiabatic change of state.
No thermal/heat energy is transferred in the change of state.
Marking guidance:
Allow "heat energy" but not "heat".
