Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at temperature of cold reservoir.
Reason R: The efficiency of Carnot’s engine depends not only on temperature of cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of hot reservoir too and is given as .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Assertion A: Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at temperature of cold reservoir.
Reason R: The efficiency of Carnot’s engine depends not only on temperature of cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of hot reservoir too and is given as .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct
explanation of A
explanation of A
Option A (Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A) is correct because the efficiency of a reversible heat engine is highest at 0K (-273°C) and the Carnot efficiency equation explains this dependence on both hot and cold reservoir temperatures.
