Question 24 POST_UTME_IMS_U • 2018 • PHYSICS • objective

A gas is contained in a cylinder of volume $V$ with a movable piston. The gas is heated, cau\sing its pressure to increase from $P_1$ to $P_2$. Find the work done $W$ by the gas u\sing the formula $W = \int_{V_1}^{V_2} P dV$.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. W = P_2 \( V_2 - V_1 \)
B. W = P_1 \( V_2 - V_1 \)
C. W = \frac{1}{2} \( P_2 + P_1 \) \( V_2 - V_1 \)
D. W = \frac{1}{2} \( P_2 - P_1 \) \( V_2 - V_1 \)
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
W = P_2 \( V_2 - V_1 \)
