A given mass of gas expands from the state A to the state B by three paths 1, 2 and 3 as shown in the figure. If w1,w2 and w3 respectively be the work done by the gas along three paths then

Question

A given mass of gas expands from the state A to the state B by three paths 1, 2 and 3 as shown in the figure. If w1,w2 and w3 respectively be the work done by the gas along three paths then Question

(A) w1>w2>w3 (B) w1 < w2 < w3 (C) w1=w2=w3 (D) w2 < w3 < w1

As greater is the area under the curve, more is the work done. w1 < w2 < w3

Q. A given mass of gas expands from the state A to the state B by three paths 1, 2 and 3 as shown in the figure. If $w_{1}, w_{2}$ and $w_{3}$ respectively be the work done by the gas along three paths then

$w_{1} > w_{2} > w_{3}$

$w_{1} < w_{2} < w_{3}$

$w_{1} = w_{2} = w_{3}$

$w_{2} < w_{3} < w_{1}$

As greater is the area under the curve, more is the work done.
$w_{1} < w_{2} < w_{3}$

Q. A given mass of gas expands from the state A to the state B by three paths 1, 2 and 3 as shown in the figure. If w1​,w2​ and w3​ respectively be the work done by the gas along three paths then

w1​>w2​>w3​

w1​<w2​<w3​

w1​=w2​=w3​

w2​<w3​<w1​
