Two identical samples of a gas are allowed to expand (i) isothermally (ii) adiabatically. Work done is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In thermodynamic processes.
Work done = Area covered by PV diagram with V-axis
From graph it is clear that $(\mathrm{Area})_{iso} > (\mathrm{Area})_{adi}$
⇒ ⇒ $W_{iso} > W_{adi}$
