Does a constant volume and pressure change result in zero work done by a gas?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

A gas in a container exhibiting constant volume while experiencing a pressure change results in zero work done by the gas. This conclusion is based on the fundamental physics principle that work is defined as the product of pressure and change in volume. Since there is no change in volume, the work done remains zero regardless of pressure fluctuations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the ideal gas law
  • Basic knowledge of thermodynamics
  • Familiarity with the concept of work in physics
  • Knowledge of pressure-volume relationships in gases
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the ideal gas law and its applications
  • Explore thermodynamic processes and their characteristics
  • Learn about the first law of thermodynamics
  • Investigate real gas behavior under varying conditions
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, engineers, and anyone interested in thermodynamics and gas behavior in confined systems.

if a gas in a container has a constant volume with a pressure change. Then the work done by the gas is 0 since there's not change in volume??
