What is the entropy of the Universe?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Entropy is the thermodynamic entity that generally depicts the thermal energy of the system per unit temperature.
  2. System's thermal energy may be affected by the presence of particles, and the degree of disordered particles is called the entropy of the system.
  3. According to the second law of thermodynamics there are certain specified conditions and due to this, the heat energy is converted into work.
  4. This implies that an external force is needed to change the heat of the system from colder to hotter.
  5. This law applies to the entropy of the Universe and hence the entropy of the Universe always increases.
