Assertion (A): | It is not possible for a system, unaided by an external agency to transfer heat from a body at a lower temperature to another at a higher temperature. |
Reason (R): | It is not possible to violate the second law of thermodynamics. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | The temperature of the surface of the sun is approximately \(6000\) K. If we take a big lens and focus the sun rays, we can produce a temperature of \(8000\) K. |
Reason (R): | This is the highest temperature that can be produced according to the second law of thermodynamics. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Consider a cycle followed by an engine (figure).
1 to 2 is isothermal,
2 to 3 is adiabatic,
3 to 1 is adiabatic.
Such a process does not exist, because:
(a) | heat is completely converted to mechanical energy in such a process, which is not possible. |
(b) | In this process, mechanical energy is completely converted to heat, which is not possible. |
(c) | curves representing two adiabatic processes don’t intersect. |
(d) | curves representing an adiabatic process and an isothermal process don't intersect. |
Choose the correct alternatives:
1. | (a), (b) | 2. | (a), (c) |
3. | (b), (c) | 4. | (c), (d) |
1. | the efficiency of a heat engine can be unity. |
2. | the heat released to the cold reservoir can be made zero. |
3. | coefficient of performance can never be infinite for refrigerators. |
4. | none of the above. |
