STANDARD Physics Cyclic Processes MCQ Question
A thermodynamical system undergoes cyclic process ABCDA as shown in figure. Work done by the system is
zero
2P₀V₀
P₀V₀
3/2 P₀V₀
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The work done by the system in a cyclic process is equal to the area enclosed by the cycle on the PV diagram. In this case, the net work done is zero because the areas of the triangles ΔBCO and ΔAOD cancel each other out.
