A carnot engine having an efficiency of 110 as heat engine, is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is 10 J, the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is

a
90 J
b
99 J
c
100 J
d
1 J

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The relation between coefficient of performance and efficiency of carnot engine is given asβ=1-ηη Given η=110,W=10 Jβ=1-110110=910·10=9 Since, β=Q2W, where Q2 is the amount of energy absorb from the reservor∴  Q2=βW=9×10=90 J
