- ✓$\frac{{{T_1} - {T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}$
- B$\frac{{{T_2} - {T_1}}}{{{T_2}}}$
- C$\frac{{{T_1} - {T_2}}}{{{T_2}}}$
- D$\frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_2}}}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{{{T_1} - {T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}$
a
(a) Efficiency of Carnot engine $=\eta=\frac{T_{1}-T_{2}}{T_{1}}$
(a) Efficiency of Carnot engine $=\eta=\frac{T_{1}-T_{2}}{T_{1}}$
where, $T_{1}=$ source temperature
$T_{2}=$ sink temperature
