\(n\) moles of a perfect gas undergoes a cyclic process ABCA (see figure) consisting of the following processes.

\(A\rightarrow B\) Isothermal expansion at temperature \(T\) so that the volume is doubled from \(V_1\) to \(V_2=2V_1\) and pressure changes from \(P_1\) to \(P_2.\)
\(B\rightarrow C\) Isobaric compression at pressure \(P_2\) to initial volume \(V_1\).
\(C\rightarrow A\) Isochoric change leading to change of pressure from \(P_2\) to \(P_1\).

Total work done in the complete cycle \(ABCA\) is: 

  

1. \(0\)
2. \(nRT(\ln 2-\frac{1}{2})\)
3. \(nRT\ln 2\)
4. \(nRT(\ln 2+\frac{1}{2})\)

If one mole of an ideal gas at \((p_1,V_1)\) is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally \((A\rightarrow B),\) its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see figure). This is followed by a constant-volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value (\((B\rightarrow C).\) Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression\((C\rightarrow A).\) The net work done by the gas is:

               
1. \(RT\left(\ln 2-\dfrac{1}{2(\gamma-1)}\right) \)
2. \(-\dfrac{RT}{2(\gamma-1)} \)
3. \(0\)
4. \(RT\ln2\)

The change in the magnitude of the volume of an ideal gas when a small additional pressure \(\Delta P\) is applied at constant temperature, is the same as the change when the temperature is reduced by a small quantity \(\Delta T\) at constant pressure.

An ideal gas undergoes a quasi-static, reversible process in which its molar heat capacity \(C\) remains constant. If during this process the relation of pressure \(P\) and volume \(V\) is given by \(PV^n\) = constant, then \(n\) is given by: (here \(C_P\) and \(C_V\) are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively)

1. \( n =\dfrac{C_P}{C_V} \) 2. \(n =\dfrac{C-C_P}{C-C_V} \)
