The figure shows the p−Vp-V plot of an ideal gas taken through a cycle ABCDAA B C D A. The part ABCA B C is a semi-circle and CDAC D A is half of an ellipse. Then, The figure shows the p-V plot of an ideal gas taken through a cycle A B C D A . The part A B C is a semi-circle and C D

Options

  1. Athe process during the path A→BA \rightarrow B is isothermal
  2. Bheat flows out of the gas during the path B→C→DB \rightarrow C \rightarrow D
  3. Cwork done during the path A→B→CA \rightarrow B \rightarrow C is zero
  4. Dpositive work is done by the gas in the cycle ABCDAA B C D A.

Correct answer

B. heat flows out of the gas during the path B→C→DB \rightarrow C \rightarrow D

Step-by-step solution

(A) p−Vp-V graph is not rectangular hyperbola. Therefore, process A−BA-B is not isothermal. (B) In process BCDB C D, product of pVp V (therefore temperature and intemal energy) is decreasing. Further, volume is decreasing. Hence, work done is also negative. Hence, QQ will be negative or heat will flow out of the gas. (C) WABC=W_{A B C}= positive (D) For clockwise cycle on p−Vp-V diagram with PP on yy-axis, net work done is positive.
