MCQ
The maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine is ...........
  • A
    $100 \%$
  • B
    $\frac{T_1}{T_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{T_1}{T_2}+1$
  • Dependent upon the temperature of source $\left(T_1\right)$ and $\operatorname{sink}\left(T_2\right)$ and is equal to $\left(1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)$

Answer

Correct option: D.
Dependent upon the temperature of source $\left(T_1\right)$ and $\operatorname{sink}\left(T_2\right)$ and is equal to $\left(1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)$
d
(d)

$\eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}$

So it depends on source and sink temperature.

Durring Searle's experiment, zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} m$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} m$ of the main scale. The $20^{\text {th }}$ division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of $2 \ kg$ is applied to the wire, the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} m$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} m$ of the main scale but now the $45^{\text {th }}$ division of Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions.

If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation $z=x / y$. If the errors in $x, y$ and $z$ are $\Delta x, \Delta y$ and $\Delta z$, respectively, then

$\mathrm{z} \pm \Delta \mathrm{z}=\frac{\mathrm{x} \pm \Delta \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y} \pm \Delta \mathrm{y}}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}}\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}}\right)\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{y}}\right)^{-1} .$

The series expansion for $\left(1 \pm \frac{\Delta y}{y}\right)^{-1}$, to first power in $\Delta y / y$, is $1 \mp(\Delta y / y)$. The relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in $\mathrm{z}$ will be $\Delta \mathrm{z}=\mathrm{z}\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}}+\frac{\Delta \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{y}}\right)$.

The above derivation makes the assumption that $\Delta x / x<<1, \Delta \mathrm{y} / \mathrm{y} \ll<1$. Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.
