A mass $m$ of a perfect gas at pressure $p_{1}$ and volume $V_{1}$ undergoes an isothermal process. The final pressure is $p_{2}$ and volume is $V_{2}$. The work done on the system is considered positive. If $R$ is the gas constant and $T$ is the temperature, then the work done in the process is
- $p_{1}V_{1} \ln \dfrac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} \\$
- $-p_{1}V_{1} \ln\dfrac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} \\$
- $RT \ln \dfrac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} \\$
- $-mRT \ln \dfrac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}$
