(c) isothermal

(d) equal in all cases

Answer:

Correct Answer: 31. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) In thermodynamics for same change in volume, the work done is maximum in isobaric process because in $P-V$ graph, area enclosed by curve and volumeaxis is maximum in isobaric process.

(d) We know that in adiabatic process, $P V^{\gamma}=$ constant

From ideal gas equation, we know that $P V=n R T$

$V=\frac{n R T}{P}$

Puttingt the value from equation (2) in equation (1),

$P(\frac{n R T}{P})^{\gamma}=$ constant $P^{(1-\gamma)} T^{\gamma}=$ constant
