Starting with the same initial condition...

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 purely isobaric and `W_3` if purely adiabatic, then

A

`W_2 gt W_1 gt W_3`

B

`W_2 gt W_3 gt W_1`

C

`W_1 gt W_2 gt W_3`

D

`W_1 gt W_3 gt W_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
