For an adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas, the fractional change in its pressure is equal to (where $\gamma$ is the ratio of specific heats):

A

$-\gamma \frac{ dV }{ V }$

B

$-\gamma \frac{ V }{ dV }$

C

$-\frac{1}{\gamma} \frac{ dV }{ V }$

D

$\frac{ d V }{ V }$

(JEE MAIN-2021)

Solution

$PV ^{\gamma}=$ constant

Differentiating

$\frac{ dP }{ dV }=-\frac{\gamma P }{ V }$

$\frac{ dP }{ P }=-\frac{\gamma dV }{ V }$
