MCQ
An ideal gas is taken through the cycle $A \to B \to C \to A$ , as shown in the figure. If the net heat supplied to the gas in the cycle is $5\ J$, the work done by the gas in the process $C \to A$ is  .... $J$
  • $-5$
  • B
    $-10$
  • C
    $-15$
  • D
    $-20$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-5$
a
$\mathrm{dR}=\mathrm{dU}+\mathrm{d} \mathrm{W}$

$5=0+10(2-1)+0+\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{CA}}$

$\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{CA}}=5-10$

$=-5$ Joule
