Reversible expansion of an ideal gas under isothermal and adiabatic conditions are as shown in the figure (AB Isothermal, AC Adiabatic). Which of the following options is not correct?

- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
ShutterstockLet's analyze the options for expansion: is Isothermal: . (Correct)In expansion, the work done is the area under the curve. The isothermal curve lies above the adiabatic curve, so . (Correct) (for reversible process), while . (Correct)In adiabatic expansion, the gas does work at the expense of its internal energy, so the temperature decreases (). Thus, is incorrect.
