The work done by a Carnot engine operating between \(300 \mathrm{~K}\) and \(400 \mathrm{~K}\) is \(400 \mathrm{~J}\). The energy exhausted by the engine is

  1. A \(800 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(1200 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(400 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(1600 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1200 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, source temperature, \(T_1=400 \mathrm{~K}\) Sink temperature, \(T_2=300 \mathrm{~K}\) Work done, \(W=400 \mathrm{~J}\) We know that, efficiency of carnot heat engine \(\eta=\frac{W}{Q}=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}\)…
