(N/A) In an isobaric process,the pressure $P$ remains constant. Therefore,the $P-V$ diagram is a straight line parallel to the volume axis ($V$-axis).
In an isochoric process,the volume $V$ remains constant. Therefore,the $P-V$ diagram is a straight line parallel to the pressure axis ($P$-axis).

In an isobaric process,

Write the expression for the work done by an ideal gas in an isobaric process.

The equation of state for a gas is given by $PV = nRT + \alpha V$,where $n$ is the number of moles and $\alpha$ is a positive constant. The initial temperature and pressure of one mole of the gas contained in a cylinder are $T_0$ and $P_0$ respectively. The work done by the gas when its temperature doubles isobarically will be
