20J of heat energy is extracted from a cold reservoir when 30J of work is done on a refrigerator. What is the coefficient of the refrigerator?(a) 2/3(b) 5/3(c) 3/5(d) 1/3I have been asked this question during an interview.This question is from Thermodynamics topic in portion Thermodynamics of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (a) 2/3

Explanation: The coefficient of a refrigerator is defined as α = Q2/W,where Q2 is heat extracted from a COLD RESERVOIR and W is work done.

α = 20/30 = 2/3.
