A sample of gas expands from $V_1$ to $V _2$. In which of the following, the work done will be greatest ?

A

Same in all processes

B

Isobaric process

C

Isothermal process

D

Adiabatic process

(JEE MAIN-2013)

Solution

Work done $=$ Area bounded by $PV$ graph and volume axis
Among the three process, bounded area by $PV$ graph and volume axis is greatest for isobaric process, hence work done is greatest for isobaric process
