If an engine takes 5J of heat energy from a reservoir and rejects 3J to the surroundings, what is its efficiency?(a) 2/5(b) 3/5(c) 1/5(d) 0I have been asked this question in my homework.I'm obligated to ask this question of Thermodynamics topic in portion Thermodynamics of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (a) 2/5

Explanation: EFFICIENCY is DEFINED as work done/heat input.

Work done = 5-3=2J.

Heat input = 5J.

Thus, efficiency = 2/5.
