Q10

The work done in isothermal compression compared to that in adiabatic compression will be

A.
Less
B.
More
Answer
C.
Same
D.
More or less depending upon the extent of work done

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Since, the area under   plot for isothermal is less than the area under   plot for adiabatic process during compression. We can say adiabatic work done is more than isothermal work done.
