MCQ

The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends upon

A
the temperature of the source only
B
the temperature of the sink only
✓
the temperatures of the source and sink
D
the volume of the cylinder of the engine

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

the temperatures of the source and sink

c
Efficiency of Carnot engine

$\eta=\left(1-\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}\right) \times 100 \%$

So efficiency depends on temperature of source $\left(T_{1}\right)$ and temperature of $\sin k\left(T_{2}\right)$
