One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two different cyclic processes I and II, as shown in the P-V diagrams below. In cycle I, processes a, b, c and d are isobaric, isothermal, isobaric and isochoric, respectively. In cycle II, processes a', b', c' and d' are isothermal, isochoric, isobaric and isochoric, respectively. The total work done during cycle I is WI and that during cycle II is WII. The ratio WIWII is _____.

  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C 3
  4. D 4

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For first case: \(W_{ I }=W_a+W_b+W_c+W_d \)

\( =4 P_0\left(2 V_0-V_0\right)+n R T \ln \left(\frac{4 V_0}{2 V_0}\right)+2 P_0\) \(\left(V_0-4 V_0\right)+0 \)

\( =4 P_0 V_0+n R\left(\frac{8 P_0 V_0}{n R}\right) \ln 2-6 P_0 V_0 \)

\( =8 P_0 V_0 \ln 2-2 P_0 V_0\)
