An ideal monatomic gas expands to twice ...

An ideal monatomic gas expands to twice its volume. If the process is isothermal, the magnitude of work done by the gas is `W_(1)`. If the process is adiabatic, the magnitude of work done by the gas is `W_(a)` . Which of the following is true ?

A

`W_i = W_a gt 0`

B

`W_i gt W_a gt 0`

C

`W_i gt W_a = 0`

D

`W_a gt W_i gt 0`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B

Since area of PV graph under isothermal curve is greater than area under adiabatic curve
So, `W_i gt W_a gt 0`.
