An ideal monoatomic gas expands to twice its volume. If the process is isothermal, the magnitude of work done by the gas is $W_i$. If the process is adiabatic, the magnitude of work done by the gas is $W_a$. Which of the following is true?
  • A$W_i=W_a > 0$
  • B$W_i > W_{a} > 0$
  • C$W_i > W_{a}=0$
  • D$W_{a} > W_i=0$
