Solution
Correct Answer:
P-V diagram
Thermodynamic work done by a gas during expansion or compression is given by: W=∫PdV
- On a P-V (Pressure-Volume) diagram, this integral represents the area under the curve between the initial and final volumes.
- For a cyclic process, the net work done is the area enclosed within the cycle loop.
This medium difficulty physics question is from the chapter thermodynamics, covering the topic of pv diagram work. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
