Question
Assertion : When a gas is allowed to expand, work done by gas is positive.
Reason : Force due to gaseous pressure and displacement (of piston) are in the same direction.

Answer

(a) Since the gaseous pressure and the displacement(ofpiston)areinthesamedirection.Therefore$\theta=0^{\circ}$$\therefore$ Work done $=F_s \cos \theta=F_s=$ PositiveThus during expansion work done by gas is positive.
