One mole of an ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process,consisting of two isochores and two isobars. Temperatures at points $1$ and $3$ are $T_1$ and $T_3$ respectively. Find the work done by the gas over the cycle,if points $2$ and $4$ lie on the same isotherm.

  • A
    $\frac{R(T_1+T_3)}{2}$
  • B
    $R(\sqrt{T_3}-\sqrt{T_1})^2$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{2}(\sqrt{T_1}+\sqrt{T_3})^2$
  • D
    $R\sqrt{T_1T_3}$

Three processes form a thermodynamic cycle as shown on the $P-V$ diagram for an ideal gas. Process $1 \rightarrow 2$ takes place at a constant temperature $(300 \ K)$. Process $2 \rightarrow 3$ takes place at a constant volume. During this process,$40 \ J$ of heat leaves the system. Process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic and the temperature $T_3$ is $275 \ K$. The work done by the gas during the process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is ..... $J$.

One mole of an ideal gas at initial temperature $T$ undergoes a quasi-static process during which the volume $V$ is doubled. During the process,the internal energy $U$ obeys the equation $U = a V^3$,where $a$ is a constant. The work done during this process is

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ If heat is added to a system,its temperature must increase.
Statement $II:$ If positive work is done by a system in a thermodynamic process,its volume must increase.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal number of moles of an ideal monoatomic gas at $400 \,K$. The piston of $A$ is free to move while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat energy is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $42 \,K$, what is the rise in temperature of the gas in $B$ (in $\,K$)? (Given $\gamma = 5/3$)
