The work done by a gas on the system is zero in
Show Hint
- adiabatic process
- isothermal compression
- isochores process
- isobaric process
- isothermal expansion
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
In an isochoric process, the volume of the gas remains constant. Since work done is given by: \[ W = P \Delta V \] where \( \Delta V \) is the change in volume, if there is no change in volume (\( \Delta V = 0 \)), the work done by the gas is zero.
Thus, the correct answer is (C).
