how do i do this physicsproblem?

If the energy removed from an engine as heat

during one cycle is 5.0 × 102 J, how much

energy must be added to the engine during

one cycle in order for it to operate at 28

percent efficiency?

Answer in units of J.

  • As the efficiency is 28%=>the wastage is (100 - 28 = 72%)

    =>Let the energy required to operate is M Jules/cycle

    =>M x 78% = 5 x 10^2 J

    =>M = 5 x 10^2 x 100/78 = 6.4 x 10^2 J/cycle

  • Here we have,

    Heat energy = 5.0 x 102 J

    efficiency = 28 %

    Let Total Energy = E,

    Then

    5.0 x 102 x 100 / E = 28

    E = 5.0 x 102 x 100 / 28 = 1821.43 J .................. Answer

  • -Number of loops x (Change in magnetic flux/change in time) x 100= percent efficency of engine
