P-V Diagrams & Cyclic Processes

Following figure shows two processes A and B for a gas. If Δ\DeltaQA and Δ\DeltaQB are the amount of heat absorbed by the system in two cases, and Δ\DeltaUA and Δ\DeltaUB are changes in internal energies, respectively, then:

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Both processes go from ii to ff, so ΔUA=ΔUB\Delta U_A = \Delta U_B.
  2. Curve A lies above B, so area under A is larger: WA>WBW_A > W_B.
  3. Q=ΔU+W⇒ΔQA>ΔQBQ = \Delta U + W \Rightarrow \Delta Q_A > \Delta Q_B
  4. So the answer is (c).
