MCQ
Assertion (A): Efficiency of a Carnot engine increases on reducing the temperature of sink.
Reason (R): The efficiency of a Carnot engine is defined as ratio of net mechanical work done per cycle by the gas to the amount of heat energy absorbed per cycle from the source.
  • A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C
    A is true but R is false.
  • D

Assertion (A): Power developed in circular motion is always zero.
Reason (R): Work done in case of circular motion is zero.
Assertion (A): Two springs of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are stretched by the same force. If $k_1>k_2$, then work done in stretching the first $\left( W _1\right)$ is less than work done in stretching the second $\left( W _2\right)$.
Reason ( R ): $F = k _1 x _1= k _2 x _2$
Assertion: It is not possible for a system, unaided by an external agency to transfer heat from a body at lower temperature to another body at a higher temperature.
