View Solution

Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the $P$ vs $V$ diagram. The paths are labelled as $A \rightarrow B, A \rightarrow C$ and $A \rightarrow D$. The change in internal energies during these processes are taken as $E_{AB}, E_{AC}$ and $E_{AD}$ and the work done as $W_{AB}, W_{AC}$ and $W_{AD}$. The correct relation between these parameters is:
