JEE Main & Advanced Physics Thermodynamical Processes Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       Efficiency of a Carnot engine increase on reducing the temperature of sink. Reason                 :       The efficiency of a Carnot engine is defined as ratio of net mechanical work done per cycle by the gas to the amount of heat energy absorbed per cycle from the source.

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                Efficiency of cannot cycle \[\eta =\frac{W}{{{Q}_{1}}}=1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}\], for Carnot engine when \[{{T}_{2}}\] decrease \[\eta \] increases.
