Sonia Vang · Answer 1

It is True that in a quasi static process, the system remains infinitesimally close to equilibrium state throughout the process.

Explanation:

The literal meaning of the word "quasi" is 'almost' and static is 'rest', so quasi static state means almost at rest state of the system

It can be further explained as the process, in thermodynamics which allows the system to be carried to slowly to maintain its equilibrium or to remain in its internal equilibrium state. Such a process is known as quasi-static process. Such processes also allow all isothermal and adiabatic processes to operate slowly so as not to disturb their internal equilibrium. this makes the system to always remain in thermal equilibrium
