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

It is clear from the diagram that work done i.e.area under the `AB`, `AC`, `AD` line for isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric process. Have the relation , `W_(2) gt W_(1) gt W_(3)`.
