What is the work done by the system in an isochoric process?
Correct Answer: 0
  • Step 1: Understand what an isochoric process is. It is a process where the volume of the system does not change.
  • Step 2: Recall the formula for work done by a system: W = PΔV, where W is work, P is pressure, and ΔV is the change in volume.
  • Step 3: In an isochoric process, since the volume is constant, the change in volume (ΔV) is zero.
  • Step 4: Substitute ΔV = 0 into the work formula: W = P * 0.
  • Step 5: Since anything multiplied by zero is zero, we find that W = 0.
  • Step 6: Conclude that in an isochoric process, no work is done by the system.
