An ideal gas is taken path as shown in figure. The net work done in the whole cycle is
Options
- A3 p₁ V₁
- B-3 p ₁ ~V ₁
- C6 p₁ V₁
- DZero
Correct answer
B. -3 p ₁ ~V ₁
Step-by-step solution
The net work done in the whole cycle is = 1 2 (3 p ₁ ) (2 ~V ₁ )=3 p ₁ ~V ₁ If the cycle is anticlockwise work done is negative W _ cycle =-3 p ₁ ~V ₁
