The p-V diagram of a Carnot's engine is shown in the graph below. The engine uses 1 mole of an ideal gas as working substance. From the graph, the area enclosed by the p - V diagram is [The heat supplied to the gas is 8000 ~J ]
Options
- A1200 ~J
- B2000 ~J
- C3000 ~J
- D1000 ~J
Correct answer
A. 1200 ~J
Step-by-step solution
[Hint Area enclosed by p-V diagram is equal to work done] Total work done by gas in one carnot cycle is given by. W= R T₁ V₂ V₁ - R T₂ V₃ V₄
