An ideal gas expands isothermally from a volume $V_1$ to $V_2$ and then is compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. The initial pressure is $P_1$ and the final pressure is $P_3$. If the total work done is $W$,then:

  • A
    $P_3 > P_1, W > 0$
  • B
    $P_3 < P_1, W < 0$
  • C
    $P_3 > P_1, W < 0$
  • D
    $P_3 = P_1, W = 0$

Which one of the following options is correct?

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at $300 \ K$. The piston of $A$ is free to move,while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $30 \ K$,then the rise in temperature of the gas in $B$ is ..... $K$.

Match the following lists.
