MCQ
Starting with the same initial conditions, an ideal gas expands from volume $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}$ in three different ways. The work done by the gas is $W_{1}$ if the process is purely isothermal. $W _{2}$. if the process is purely adiabatic and $W _{3}$ if the process is purely isobaric. Then, choose the coned option
  • A
    $W _{1} < W _{2} < W _{3}$
  • B
    $W _{2} < W _{3} < W _{1}$
  • C
    $W _{3} < W _{1} < W _{2}$
  • $W _{2} < W _{1} < W _{3}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$W _{2} < W _{1} < W _{3}$
d
Area under curve is work

$W _{2} < W _{1} < W _{3}$
