MCQ
An ideal gas expands in such a way that $PV^2 =$ constant throughout the process.
  • A
    The graph of the process of $T-V$ diagram is a parabola.
  • B
    The graph of the process of $T-V$ diagram is a straight line.
  • C
    Such an expansion is possible only with heating.
  • Such an expansion is possible only with cooling.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Such an expansion is possible only with cooling.
d
From ideal gas equation, $PV =nRT$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{VT}=\mathrm{constant}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{V}$ is inversely proportional to $\mathrm{T}$

$\Rightarrow$ expansion causes increase in $\mathrm{V}$

$\Rightarrow$ it leads to decrease in $T$

$\Rightarrow$ gas is cooled

So correct option is $d$
