A sample of a gas expends from volume $V_1{ }^{\prime}$ to $V_2$ The amount of work done by the gas is maximum when the expansion is
Adiabatic
Equal in isothermal and isobaric
Isothermal
Isobaric
Solution
We know that
$\Delta \mathrm{Q}=\Delta \mathrm{E}+\Delta \mathrm{W}$
Work done by gas is maximum when $\Delta \mathrm{E}$ is minimum
For Isothermal Change, $\Delta \mathrm{E}=0$
So, for isothermal expansion work done is maximum
