    A 100Q resistor carrying a constant current of 0.5 A is kept at a constant temperature of 300 K by a stream of cooling water. In a time interval of 30 minutes, what are the changes in entropy for the resistor and that of the universe, respectively?

    A) 0 and 150 J/K   

    B) 150 J/K and 0

    C) 300 J/K and 0   

    D) 0 and 300 J/K

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[Q={{I}^{2}}\,\,Rt={{\left( 0.5 \right)}^{2}}\times 100\times 30\times 60\times {{10}^{-\,3}}=45\,\,kJ\] \[{{\left( \Delta \,S \right)}_{universe}}=\frac{Q}{T}=\frac{45\times 1000}{300}=150\,\,\text{J/K}\] \[{{\left( \Delta \,S \right)}_{resistor}}=0\]
