Question

A power plant converts chemical energy to electrical energy. How does the Second Law of Thermodynamics apply to this process?

Accepted Answer

Some energy is lost as heat, increasing universal entropy.

Answer

The conversion decreases local entropy without affecting universal entropy.

Answer

Energy is created during the conversion, decreasing universal entropy.

Answer

The conversion is 100% efficient, with no energy lost as heat.
