The efficiency of a Carnot engine working between 27°C and 127°C is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The efficiency of a Carnot engine working between 27°C and 127°C is
A. 50%
B. 100%
C. 75%
D. 25%
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
η = 1 - T₂/T₁ = 1 - (300/400) = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25%. Wait, T₁ high temp 400 K, T₂ low 300 K, so η = 1 - 300/400 = 0.25 = 25%. Option A is 25%. Let's correct answer A. I'll set option A: 25%.

Question #1
Diffraction demonstrates light's:
A. EM nature
B. Particle nature
C. Wave nature
D. Dual nature

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Diffraction (bending around obstacles) is wave phenomenon explained by Huygens' principle. Particle model predicts straight-line propagation. Memory aid: 'Diffraction/interference ⇒ wave nature; photoelectric ⇒ particle nature'. Wave-particle duality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
A variable force F = (3x^2 + 2x) N acts on a particle. The work done by this force in moving the particle from x = 1 m to x = 2 m is:
A. 10 J
B. 12 J
C. 16 J
D. 14 J

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Work done by a variable force is the definite integral of F dx. W = Integral(3x^2 + 2x) dx from 1 to 2. W = [x^3 + x^2] evaluated from 1 to 2. Upper limit: (2^3 + 2^2) = 8 + 4 = 12. Lower limit: (1^3 + 1^2) = 1 + 1 = 2. Work = 12 - 2 = 10 Joules.

Question #3
The work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another against an electric field is known as:
A. Potential Difference
B. Electric Field Intensity
C. Electric Flux
D. Capacitance

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
By definition, the electric potential difference between two points in an electric field is the amount of external work required to move a unit positive charge (1 Coulomb) slowly and without acceleration from one point to the other against the electrostatic force. The SI unit of potential difference is the Volt (Joules/Coulomb).
