P-V Diagrams & Cyclic Processes

An ideal gas undergoes cyclic process ABCDA as shown in given p-V diagram. What is the magnitude of amount of work done by the gas?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Magnitude of net work = area enclosed by the cycle.
  2. Area =(4P0−2P0)(5V0−3V0)=2P0×2V0=4P0V0= (4P_0 - 2P_0)(5V_0 - 3V_0) = 2P_0 \times 2V_0 = 4P_0V_0.
  3. So the answer is (b) 4P0V04P_0V_0.
