An ideal gas is taken via path \(A B C A\) as shown in figure.



The network done in the whole cycle is

  1. A \(3 p_{1} V_{1}\)
  2. B \(-3 p_{1} V_{1}\)
  3. C \(6 p_{1} V_{1}\)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-3 p_{1} V_{1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Net work done in cyclic process \(A B C A\), \(W_{\text {net }}=\) Areu enclosed by path \(A B C A\) \[ \begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{2} \times\left(3 V_{1}-V_{1}\right)\left(4 p_{1}-p_{1}\right) \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 V_{1} \times 3 p_{1}=3 p_{1} V_{1} \end{aligned} \] Since,…
