Which outcome results when excessive heat enters an ideal Carnot cycle?

A)Greater net work is produced
B)Cold reservoir gets even colder
C)Isothermal compression becomes adiabatic
D)Maximum theoretical efficiency sharply decreases

💡 Explanation

More heat input increases the area enclosed by process cycle due to adiabatic expansion; thus, greater work output happens because the ideal Carnot Cycle functions by the efficiency principle, therefore more work output, rather than efficiency reduction.
