Thermodynamics Ques 27
27. A sample of gas expands from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$. The amount of work done by the gas is greatest, when the expansion is
[1997]
(a) adiabatic
(b) isobaric
(c) isothermal
(d) equal in all cases
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 27.(b)
Solution:
- (b) In thermodynamics for same change in volume, the work done is maximum in isobaric process because in $P-V$ graph, area enclosed by curve and volumeaxis is maximum in isobaric process.
