The work done in taking an ideal gas through one cycle of operation as shown in the indicator diagram below


  1. A \(10^{-5} \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(10^{-3} \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(10^{-2} \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(10 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(10 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As work done in a cycle is equal to the area enclosed by the cycle. \(\therefore \quad\) Work done, \(W=\Delta p \times \Delta V\) \[ =(4-2) \times(6-1)=10 \mathrm{~J} \]
