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. 100%
B. 75%
C. 50%
D. 25%
Answer: Option C
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
A Wheatstone bridge is said to be completely balanced when:
A. Potential difference across the galvanometer is zero.
B. All four resistors have exactly identical values.
C. The battery supplies zero current.
D. Current through the galvanometer is maximum.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A Wheatstone bridge circuit consists of four arms with resistances P, Q, R, S and a galvanometer in the middle. It is balanced when no current flows through the galvanometer arm. This happens exclusively when the potentials at the two ends of the galvanometer are equal, meaning the potential difference across it is exactly zero (P/Q = R/S).

Question #2
An ammeter is always connected in
A. Parallel with circuit
B. Across supply
C. Either series or parallel
D. Series with circuit

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ammeter measures current, must be in series so full current flows through it. Low internal resistance to minimize voltage drop. Voltmeter measures potential difference, connected in parallel, high resistance.

Question #3
Microscope resolution improved by:
A. Lower magnification
B. Longer wavelength light
C. Smaller numerical aperture
D. Oil immersion

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Oil immersion increases numerical aperture (NA) by matching refractive indices, improving resolution d = λ/(2NA). Memory tip: 'Higher NA or shorter λ ⇒ better resolution'. Optical instrument concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
