Q66 / 91 · KVPY 2020 (SB/SX) · Physics
An engine runs between a reservoir at temperature and hot body which is initially at temperature of If the hot body cools down to a temperature of in the process, then the maximum amount of work that the engine can do (while working in a cycle) is (the heat capacity of the hot body is
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
For maximum amount of work, efficiency should be maximum, means we have to assume carnot engine.
(Given)
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
