NEET Physics Question - Thermal Physics

Assertion (A): In an isochoric process, work done by the gas is zero.

Reason (R): In a process, if initial volume is equal to the final volume, work done by the gas is zero.

(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(3) (A) is true but (R) is false

(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

In an isochoric process, volume is constant, so \(Delta V = 0\). Work done \(W = PDelta V = 0\). So (A) is true. However, in a cyclic process, initial and final volumes are equal, but net work done is generally non-zero (area of the cycle on \(P-V\) diagram). So (R) is false.
