The figure shows the $P-V$ plot of an ideal gas taken through a cycle $ABCDA$. The part $ABC$ is a semi-circle and $CDA$ is half of an ellipse. Then,
$(A)$ the process during the path $A \rightarrow B$ is isothermal
$(B)$ heat flows out of the gas during the path $B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D$
$(C)$ work done during the path $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C$ is zero
$(D)$ positive work is done by the gas in the cycle $ABCDA$

The coefficient of isothermal elasticity $E_{\theta}$ and the coefficient of adiabatic elasticity $E_{\phi}$ are related by $(\gamma = C_p/C_v)$.

$A$ given amount of gas has an initial state $(P_i, V_i, T_i)$. It expands until its volume becomes $V_f$. Consider the following two cases:
$(a)$ The expansion occurs at constant temperature (isothermal).
$(b)$ The expansion occurs at constant pressure (isobaric).
Draw the $P-V$ diagram for each case. In which of the two cases is the work done by the gas greater?

Match the following:
List-$I$List-$II$
$i)$ Isothermal process$a)$ $0$
$ii)$ Isobaric process$b)$ $\frac{1}{\gamma-1}[P_2 V_2 - P_1 V_1]$
$iii)$ Isochoric process$c)$ $\mu RT \ln(\frac{V_2}{V_1})$
$iv)$ Adiabatic process$d)$ $P(V_2 - V_1)$

The correct answer is:

$A$ monoatomic gas of $n$-moles is heated from temperature $T_1$ to $T_2$ under two different conditions: $(i)$ at constant volume and (ii) at constant pressure. The change in internal energy of the gas is

Three moles of an ideal gas undergo a cyclic process $ABCA$ as shown in the figure. The pressure, volume, and absolute temperature at points $A, B,$ and $C$ are respectively $(P_1, V_1, T_1)$, $(P_2, 3V_1, T_1)$, and $(P_2, V_1, T_2)$. Then the total work done in the cycle $ABCA$ is (where $R$ is the universal gas constant).
