Statement 1 There is a natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat to work.
Statement 2 No process is possible in which the sole result in the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work.
- A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
There is natural asymmetry between converting work to heat and converting heat to work because of the lapse of energy in this process which has been generalised in the form of second law of thermodynamics (Statement II).
