Work Energy And Power Question 4
Question: Assertion : When a gas is allowed to expand, work done by gas is positive. Reason : Force due to gaseous pressure and displacement (of piston) are in the same direction.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Since the gaseous pressure and the displacement (of piston) are in the same direction.
Therefore $ \theta =0{}^\circ $
Work done = $ Fs\cos \theta =Fs= $ Positive Thus during expansion work done by gas is positive.
