Question
Consider the process on a system shown in figure. During the process, the work done by the system:
  1. Continuously increases.
  2. Continuously decreases.
  3. First increases then decreases.
  4. First decreases then increases.
✓

Answer

  1. Continuously increases.
Explanation:
Work done by a system, $\text{W}=\int\text{PdV}$
Here,
P = Pressure on the system
dV = change in volume
Since dV is positive, i.e. the volume is continuously increasing, work done by the system also continuously increases.
