Using the given \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{V}\) diagram, the work done by an ideal gas along the path ABCD is :

  1. A \(3 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0\)
  2. B \(-4 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0\)
  3. C \(-3 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0\)
  4. D \(4 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-3 \mathrm{P}_0 \mathrm{~V}_0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Area under graph will be magnitude of graph and being counterclockwise graph it would be negative \(\begin{aligned} & \text { Area }=2 P_0 \times V_0+P_0 V_0=3 P_0 V_0 \\ & \mathrm{~W}=-3 P_0 V_0 \end{aligned}\)
