A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume is again reduced to half. Then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
On P-V diagram,
Area under adiabatic curve > Area under isothermal curve. So compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
