STANDARD Physics Work Done in Thermodynamic Processes MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas?
A
Isochoric
B
Isothermal
C
Adiabatic
D
Isobaric
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The work done on the gas is equal to the area under the P-V curve. The area is maximum for the adiabatic process, hence the work done is maximum for the adiabatic process.
