A gas is compressed isothermally to half of its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process until its volume again is reduced to half. Choose the correct option.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
From the graph we can see that for compression of gas, area under the curve for adiabatic is more then isothermal process. Therefore, compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.
