  • B
    $PV = k$ for process $B$ and $A$.
  • C
    $\frac{P^{\gamma-1}}{T^\gamma} = k$ for process $B$ and $T = k$ for process $A$.
  • D
    $\frac{T^\gamma}{P^{\gamma-1}} = k$ for process $A$ and $PV = k$ for process $B$.

$A$ given amount of gas has an initial state $(P_i, V_i, T_i)$. It expands until its volume becomes $V_f$. Consider the following two cases:
$(a)$ The expansion occurs at constant temperature (isothermal).
$(b)$ The expansion occurs at constant pressure (isobaric).
Draw the $P-V$ diagram for each case. In which of the two cases is the work done by the gas greater?
