Question

One mole of an ideal monatomic gas is taken round the cyclic process ABCA as shown in the figure. Calculate the work done by the gas.

• A. $P_0{V}_0$.
• B. $2P_0{V}_0$.
• C. $3P_0{V}_0$.
• D. $4P_0{V}_0$.

Answer 1

The correct option is A $P_0{V}_0$.

$\text{Solution}:$

W=+ (Area of the cycle)

$=+\frac{1}{2}(2V_0-V_0)(3p_0-p_0)=p_0{V}_0$

$\text{Hence A is the correct option}$
