The \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{V}\) graph of an ideal gas, cycle is shown. The adiabatic process is described by the region

  1. A AB and BC
  2. B AB and CD
  3. C AD and BC
  4. D BC and CD
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) AD and BC

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The adiabatic curve is steeper (has a greater slope).This steepness reflects the rapid change in pressure with volume during an adiabatic process, due to the absence of heat transfer which allows the gas to expand or contract more quaickly in response to changes in volume.
In the given \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{V}\) graph, adiabatic process is shown by region \(A D\) and \(B C\) only as their slope is greater.
