Q. The pressure-volume diagram shows six curved paths that can be followed by the gas (connected by vertical paths). Which two of them should be part of a closed cycle if the net work done by the gas is to be its maximum positive value?Physics Question Image

Thermodynamics

Solution:

Work done in expansion is positive and in compression it is negative.
