The graph of a thermodynamic process is ...

The graph of a thermodynamic process is a straight line parallel to pressure axis in P - V diagram. What is the work done in that process ?

A

zero

B

infinity

C

2PV

D

`sqrt(PV)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

The graph is straight line parallel to P axis i.e. the volume remains constant.
`therefore` It is an isochoric process for which dV = 0.
`therefore` Workdone = PdV = 0
