A gas performs the maximum work, when it expands

A. Non-uniformly

B. Adiabatically

C. Isobarically

D. Isothermally

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The Isobaric, isothermal and adiabatic process represented in $$P – V$$ as the following.
Since, area under $$P-V$$ plot for isobaric process is more than the isothermal and adiabatic process the work done in isobaric process is highest.
