An ideal gas is taken through the cycle
, as shown in figure. If the net heat supplied to the gas in the cycle is 5 J, the work done by the gas in the process
is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
1. Here, process is cyclic so change in internal energy is zero. We know that work done by gas is given by
Total work done by gas is

…(i)
First law of thermodynamics,
…(ii)
Where,
is heat supplied,
is the change in internal energy which is zero and W is the work done.
Hence, Eqs. (i) and (ii) will be written as
Work done by the gas in the process
