In a thermodynamic process, the work done on a system is equal and opposite to the work done by the system. This is known as the principle of conservation of energy.
The work done by the gas during the expansion is equal to the area under the pressure-volume curve on a graph of the process.
In a thermodynamic process, the work done on the system is equal and opposite to the work done by the system. This is based on the principle of conservation of energy, where the total work done in a closed system remains constant.
In an isothermal process, the work done is the product of the pressure and the change in volume of the system. This is because the temperature remains constant throughout the process, so the work done is solely determined by the change in volume.
The formula to calculate the work done by a gas in a thermodynamic process is: Work Pressure x Change in Volume
