Options

  1. A800800 J
  2. B400400 J
  3. C500500 J
  4. D600600 J

Correct answer

D. 600600 J

Step-by-step solution

For a complete cyclic process, the change in internal energy is zero, i.e., ΔU=0\Delta U = 0.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, ΔQ=ΔU+ΔW\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W.

Therefore, the net heat supplied to the gas is equal to the net work done by the gas: ΔQ=ΔW\Delta Q = \Delta W.

The net work done ΔW\Delta W is given by the area enclosed by the cycle on the P−VP-V diagram.

ΔW=Area of rectangle abcd\Delta W = \text{Area of rectangle } abcd

ΔW=(Pa−Pd)×(Vb−Va)\Delta W = (P_a - P_d) \times (V_b - V_a)

ΔW=(300−100)×(5−2)\Delta W = (300 - 100) \times (5 - 2)

ΔW=200×3=600 J\Delta W = 200 \times 3 = 600 \text{ J}

Thus, the total heat supplied to the gas is 600 J600 \text{ J}.

Answer: 600600 J
