An ideal gas has initial volume V and pressure P. In doubling its volume the minimum work done will be in the following process(of given processes)
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Adiabatic process
💡 Explanation:
Work done is the area under the P-V curve. For a given expansion, the adiabatic curve is the steepest, resulting in the smallest area under the curve compared to isothermal or isobaric processes.
