(c)For isothermal process $PV = RT \Rightarrow P = \frac{{RT}}{V}$
$\therefore $W$ = PdV = \int_{\,{V_1}}^{\,{V_2}} {\frac{{RT}}{V}dV = RT} {\log _e}\frac{{{V_2}}}{{{V_1}}}$

    The three processes in a thermodynamic cycle shown in the figure are : Process $1 \rightarrow 2$ is isothermal; Process $2 \rightarrow 3$ is isochoric (volume remains constant); Process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic. The total work done by the ideal gas in this cycle is $10 \,J$. The internal energy decreases by $20 \,J$ in the isochoric process. The work done by the gas in the adiabatic process is $-20 \,J$. The heat added to the system in the isothermal process is .............. $J$
