NEET Solved Paper 2014 Question 18

Question: A thermodynamic system undergoes cyclic process ABCDA as shown in figure. The work done by the system in the cycle is [AIPMT 2014]

Options:

A) $ p _0V _0 $

B) $ 2p _0V _0 $

C) $ \frac{p _0V _0}{2} $

D) zero

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Work done in the cyclic process = Area bound by the closed configuration

= Area of closed configuration = $ 2[ \frac{1}{2}(v _{0/2})\times p _0 ]+{ -2[ \frac{1}{2}(v _{0/2})p _0 ] . } $ = zero.
