Q.

An ideal gas undergoes a cyclic transformation starting from the point A and coming back to the same point by tracing the path ABCA as shown in the diagram above. The total work done in the process is _____ J.           [2024]


Ans.

(200)

Magnitude of work done in a cyclic process = area enclosed by P-V or V-P graph.

|W|= 12×AC×AB 

         =12×(30-10)kPa×(30-10)dm3

         =200 kPadm3

         =200×1000Pa×(10-1m)3

          =200Pam3=200J
