Problem
Two curves are plotted for the same sample of ideal gas:
• Curve A: Straight line through the origin on a V–T graph, labelled "Boyle’s law".
• Curve B: Rectangular hyperbola on a P–V graph, labelled "Isothermal process".
Identify which curve is incorrectly labelled and write its correct label, giving a brief reason for your choice.
