The efficiency of a Carnot heat engine operating between absolute temperatures T1 and T2 (when, T1 > T2) is given by (T1 – T2)/T1. The co-efficient of performance (C.O.P.) of a Carnot heat pump operating between T1 and T2 is given by________?
AT1/T2
BT2/R1
CT1/(T1-T2)
DT2/(T1-T2)
Correct answer
C. T1/(T1-T2)
Explanation
The correct answer is T1/(T1-T2).
