A Carnot engine, having an efficiency of...

A Carnot engine, having an efficiency of `eta= 1/10` as heat engine, is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is 10 J, the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is

A

90J

B

99J

C

100J

D

1J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`beta=(Q_2)/W=(1-eta)/eta`
`Q_(2)/(10)=(1-0.1)/(0.1) rArr Q_(2)="90 Joule"`
