\(5.6 \mathrm{~L}\) of helium gas at STP is adiabatically compressed to \(0.7 \mathrm{~L}\). Taking the initial temperature to be \(T_1\), the work done in the process is
- A \(\frac{9}{8} R T_1\)
- B \(\frac{3}{2} R T_1\)
- C \(\frac{15}{8} R T_1\)
- D \(\frac{9}{2} R T_1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{9}{8} R T_1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
At STP, 22.4 L of any gas is 1 mole.
\(
\therefore \quad 5.6 \mathrm{~L}=\frac{5.6}{22.4}=\frac{1}{4} \text { moles }=n
\)
In adiabatic process,
\(
\begin{array}{rlrl}
& T V^{\gamma-1} & =\text { constant } \\
& \therefore & T_2 V_2^{\gamma-1} & =T_1 V_1^{\gamma-1} \\
& \text { or } & T_2 & =T_1\left(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\right)^{\gamma-1}
\end{array}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \gamma=\frac{C_p}{C_V}=\frac{5}{3} \text { for monoatomic He gas. } \\
& \therefore \quad T_2=T_1\left(\frac{5.6}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{5}{3}-1}=4 T_1 \\
& \because \text { Further in adiabatic process, } \\
& Q=0 \\
& \therefore \quad W+\Delta U=0 \\
& \text { or } \quad W=-\Delta U \\
& =-n C_V \Delta T \\
& =-n\left(\frac{R}{\gamma-1}\right)\left(T_2-T_1\right) \\
& =-\frac{1}{4}\left(\frac{R}{\frac{5}{3}-1}\right)\left(4 T_1-T_1\right) \\
& =-\frac{9}{8} R T_1 \\
&
\end{aligned}
\)
\(\therefore\) Correct option is (a).
Analysis of Question
(i) From calculation point of view question is moderately tough.
(ii) Volume of gas is decreasing. Therefore, work done by the gas should be negative.

In the laboratory, a proton \((p)\) and an electron \(\left(e^{-}\right)\)are observed as the decay products of the neutron. Therefore, considering the decay of a neutron as a two-body decay process, it was predicted theoretically that the kinetic energy of the electron should be a constant. But experimentally, it was observed that the electron kinetic energy has continuous spectrum. Considering a three-body decay process, i.e.
\(n \rightarrow p+e^{-}+\bar{v}_{e}\), around 1930, Pauli explained the observed electron energy spectrum. Assuming the anti-neutrino \(\left(\bar{v}_{e}\right)\) to be massless and possessing negligible energy, and the neutron to be at rest, momentum and energy conservation principles are applied. From this calculation, the maximum kinetic energy of the electron is \(0.8 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{eV}\). The kinetic energy carried by the proton is only the recoil energy.

- Paragraph:
A point charge \(Q\) is moving in a circular orbit of radius \(R\) in the \(x-y\) plane with an angular velocity \(\omega .\) This can be considered as equivalent to a loop carrying a steady current \(\frac{Q \omega}{2 \pi}\). A uniform magnetic field along the positive \(z\)-axis is now switched on, which increases at a constant rate from 0 to \(B\) in one second. Assume that the radius of the orbit remains constant. The application of the magnetic field induces an emf in the orbit. The induced emf is defined as the work done by an induced electric field in moving a unit positive charge around a closed loop. It is known that, for an orbiting charge, the magnetic dipole moment is proportional to the angular momentum with a proportionality constant \(\gamma\).
