Question

how work done in cyclic process is area under the curve should it not be zero as final state reaches initial state​

Answer 1

Answer:

A cyclic process begins and ends at the same state.

Hence, the change in all state functions like internal energy and enthalpy will be zero.

However, heat supplied and work done are path functions and they depend on the path taken between the states and hence they need not be zero.

So, the assertion is false and the reason is true.....
