In the given cycle ABCDA, the heat required for an ideal monoatomic gas will be:
A conducting wire is stretched by applying a deforming force, so that its diameter decreases to 40% of the original value. The percentage change in its resistance will be:
The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize that relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold to approximation for all gases.
