A thermodynamic system is taken from state A to B along ACB and is brought back to A along BDA as shown below in the P-V diagram. The net work done during the complete cycle is given by the area covered by_________________?

Correct answer: C. ACBDA

  • A. P1ACBP2P1
  • B. ACBB1A1A
  • C. ACBDA
  • D. ADBB1A1A

Explanation

For a complete cycle, the net work equals the closed area on the P-V diagram, namely the region enclosed by the forward path ACB and return path BDA. This is represented by area ACBDA.
