For the given cyclic process CABCAB as shown for a gas, the work done is:

For the given cyclic process CAB as shown for a gas, the work done is:

Options

  1. A10J10J
  2. B5J5J
  3. C1J1J
  4. D30J30J

Correct answer

A. 10J10J

Step-by-step solution

The work done in a cyclic process is equal to the area of closed P-V curve cycle.

Work done, W=W = Area of ∆CAB∆ CAB

⇒W=12×AB×AC⇒ W = \dfrac{1}{2} \times AB \times AC=12×(6−1)×(5−1)=10J= \dfrac{1}{2} \times ( 6 - 1 ) \times ( 5 - 1 ) = 10J

In the given P-V graph, the process is clockwise. So, the work done will be positive which means that the system is doing the work.
