The work done in isothermal compression compared to that in adiabatic compression will be__________________?
Correct answer: B. More
- A. Less
- B. More
- C. Same
- D. More or less depending upon the extent of work done
Explanation
For compression between the same initial and final volumes, an adiabatic path has a higher pressure than an isothermal path because the gas heats up. Therefore, the required compression work is greater for the adiabatic process.
