An engine takes in 600 J of heat from the high temperature reservoir and exhausts 400 J to the low temperature reservoir.What is the work done by this engine?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By applying the first law of thermodynamics, the work done by the engine can be calculated as W = Qh - Ql, where Qh is the heat absorbed from the high-temperature reservoir and Ql is the heat rejected to the low-temperature reservoir. Therefore, W = 600 J - 400 J = 200 J. So, the correct option is B) 200 J.
