Question

Starting with the same initial conditions, an ideal gas expands from volume V₁ to V₂ in three different ways. The work done by the gas is W₁ if the process is purely isothermal. W₂. if the process is purely adiabatic and W₃ if the process is purely isobaric. Then, choose the coned option

(A) W₁ < W₂ < W₃

(B) W₃ < W₂ < W₃

(C) W₁ < W₄ < W₃

(D) W₂ < W₁ < W₃

Answer 1

(D) W₂ < W₁ < W₃

Area under curve is work

W₂ < W₁ < W₃
