An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume $V_1$ to $V_2$ and then is compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. The initial pressure is $P_1$ and the final pressure is $P_3$. The total work done is $W$. Then:

  • A
    $P_3 > P_1, W > 0$
  • B
    $P_3 < P_1, W < 0$
  • C
    $P_3 > P_1, W < 0$
  • D
    $P_3 = P_1, W = 0$
