2015 · Q146

NEETPhysicsHeat and ThermodynamicsMCQ+4 / −1
An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas ?
  1. A
    Isochoric
  2. B
    Isothermal
  3. C
    Adiabatic
  4. D
    Isobaric
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: C

The P-V diagram of an ideal gas compressed from its initial volume V0{V_0}V0​ to V02{{{V_0}} \over 2}2V0​​ by several processes is shown in the figure.

AIPMT 2015 Physics - Heat and Thermodynamics Question 74 English Explanation


Work done on the gas = Area under P–V curve

As area under the P–V curve is maximum for adiabatic process, so work done on the gas is maximum for adiabatic process.
