The thermodynamic process in which no work is done by the gas or on the gas is

  • A
    isothermal process
  • B
    adiabatic process
  • C
    isobaric process
  • Correct answer
    D
    isochoric process

Solution

Work done by a gas in a thermodynamic process is given by $W = \int P dV$.

For no work to be done by the gas or on the gas, $W = 0$, which implies $dV = 0$.

This means the change in volume is zero, so the volume remains constant throughout the process.

A thermodynamic process in which the volume remains constant is called an isochoric process.

Answer: isochoric process

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
