Reading a ppp-VVV diagram

Reading a ppp-VVV diagram

p-V graph with a horizontal isobaric expansion line from V1 to V2, shaded rectangular area under the line labelled W = pΔV

A ppp-VVV diagram plots pressure on the y-axis and volume on the x-axis. A single point represents one state of the gas, and a line or curve shows how the state changes.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Physics The $p$ - $V$ diagram (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
